Palatalization is neutralized for word-final consonants, however they assimilate to the palatalization of the next consonant: dån fniud [duənʲ fʲnʲud] 'one day'. The only exception is word-final /v/ which is always [w].

Initial voiceless stops were traditionally not aspirated, but are commonly aspirated now.

Vowels

a/ia e/ie o/io å/iå y/i u/iu /a e o uə~iə i u/

Unstressed vowel: /ə/ (spelled a if nonpalatalizing and i if palatalizing)

Stress

Stress is always final, as in Windermere.

Phonotactics

Zero and C are the only permitted word-final codas.

Here is a list (modulo palatalization) by type of cluster (some clusters may be listed more than once):

• Cl: pl, tl, cl, kl, bl, gl, fl, chl, sl
• Cr: pr, tr, cr, kr, br, dr, gr, fr, þr, chr, sr
• Cm: tm, þm, km, chm, sm
• Cn: fn, kn, chn, sn
• Cņ: fņ, tņ, þņ, chņ, sņ
• Cv: tv, þv, kv, chv, gv, sv
• sC: sp, st, sk, sm, sn, sņ, sl, sr, sv
• chC: chm, chn, chņ, chl, chr

Voiced stops are not allowed to begin minor syllables in roots. This rule does not apply to proper names.
