Numyut vowels are generally split into two categories: rounded vowels (булюзджөpө) and unrounded vowels (абулюзджepe). /o, ø, u, y/ are generally considered the rounded vowels, written ⟨о, ө, у, ү⟩ in Cyrillic and ⟨o, ö, u, ü⟩ in Latin respectively; the rest, /ɑ, e, i/, are the unrounded vowels, written ⟨a, e, и⟩ in Cyrillic and ⟨a, e, i⟩ in Latin. The distinction is important because Numyut incorporates [[w:Vowel harmony|vowel harmony]]. | Numyut vowels are generally split into two categories: rounded vowels (булюзджөpө ''bulyudzhörö'') and unrounded vowels (абулюзджepe ''abulyudzhere''). /o, ø, u, y/ are generally considered the rounded vowels, written ⟨о, ө, у, ү⟩ in Cyrillic and ⟨o, ö, u, ü⟩ in Latin respectively; the rest, /ɑ, e, i/, are the unrounded vowels, written ⟨a, e, и⟩ in Cyrillic and ⟨a, e, i⟩ in Latin.

Numyut incorporates [[w:Vowel harmony|vowel harmony]], meaning that vowels in affixes and other lemmas will assimilate with the dominant vowels in a certain word. For example, [[#Case|grammatical case]] endings change depending on the prevalence of a type of vowel in the root word, such as in the [[w:Accusative case|accusative case]] ending broadly written {{IPA|-dEn}}: | Numyut incorporates [[w:Vowel harmony|vowel harmony]], meaning that vowels in affixes and other lemmas will assimilate with the dominant vowels in a certain word.
