 ===Vowels===
+There are 5 vowels in Nesekara. Due to aerial features by Georgian, the /e/ and /o/ have drifted to /ɛ/ and /ɔ̝/ respectively.
+/i/ <i, и, ი>
+/u/ <u, у, უ>
+/ɛ/ <e, e, ე>
+/ɔ̝/ <o, o, ო>
+/æ/ <a, a, ა>
+Length is not contrastive.
 ===Prosody===
 ====Stress====
-====Intonation====
+Stress almost universally occurs on the last syllable. Stress is usually not contrastive, except for the words ''Xeke'' [ʃeˈ.ke] (car) and ''Xeke'' ['ʃe.ke] ''Check''.
+====Accent====
+Intonation occurs via ''pitch-promenance'', i.e the pitch of the stressed syllable is different than the syllables surrounding it. The stressed syllable is always somewhat higher than nonstressed syllables.
 ===Phonotactics===
-<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
+The syllable structure of Nesekara is always CV; any consonant is permitted to start a syllable. However, the sonority hierarchy is ''usually'' followed when constructing a word.
