Notes:  
* /{{IPA|z}}/ is from Old Keren #'VsV & #ri. For these speakers, that has /{{IPA|z}}/ in palatal group (see below), only from #ri is in this group.
* Hohojiro language has no sound of /m/, but uses /ɓ/ instead if needed

Notes:
* /{{IPA|e, o}}/ are [{{IPA|ɛ, ɔ}}] in open syllabes, [{{IPA|e, ɵ}}] after palatal consonant in unstressed syllabes, [{{IPA|e̞, o̞}}] in clossed syllabes & [{{IPA|ɛ, ʌ}}] in open unstressed syllabes (if previous consonant is not labialised or labial)
* /{{IPA|a}}/ is [{{IPA|ɒ}}] after labialised or labial consonant, [{{IPA|æ}}] after palatal consonant & [{{IPA|ə}}] in unstressed closed syllabes
* /{{IPA|i}}/ is [{{IPA|ɨ}}] in stressed syllabes
* vowel lenght is phonemic
** /{{IPA|oː}}/ can be [{{IPA|u̯o}}] in stressed position for some speakers
===Syllabes===
Keren syllabes occur as (C)(C)V(:)(C)(C²)T where (C²) is one of these three consonants /{{IPA|r, n, m}}/, that can be stressed independently as syllabic consonants. (T) is mid tone /{{IPA|˧}}/ (unmarked/default), low tone /{{IPA|˩}}/ or “question tone” - /{{IPA|˧˩˥}}/ (only in question particle). Some speakers can ad [{{IPA|ə̥}}] between onset-syllabes consonant cluster, at least in unstressed syllabes. Low-toned syllabes work as stressed syllabes.


===Prosody===
===Prosody===
Stress is penultimate. Secondary stress is on first syllabe & occurs in word with at least five syllabes (for some archaic speakers, at least four).
The stress in the Hohojiro language is on the penultimate syllable of the word, if it's native
