/ʉ u u̙ o̙ a a̙/ and their nasal and tonal counterparts are phonetically [ʊ̈ ʊ ʊ̙ ɔ̙̈ æ æ̙].
Any two vowels can form a diphthong as long as they are both oral or both nasal.
Nasal vowel harmony occurs regresssively. +RTR vowels are opaque oral vowels. There is no tie to the presence or absence of nasal consonants.
Tones
There are four phonemic tones: rising (a’), falling (at), dipping (aj), and peaking (av), but there is also tonelessness (a). Long vowels cannot have tone. Coda sonorants can receive tone, but not if the nucleus does not have a tone. If one coda sonorant has tone, all of that syllable's coda sonorants must also have tone. Diphthongs can receive the same tones as monophthongs. One syllable cannot have more than two tonal morae.
Morae
The language uses morae rather than syllables. One vowel in a nucleus counts as one mora. Onset consonants count as 0 morae. Each coda consonant counts as one mora. Sonorants that follow an obstruent in intrasyllabic clusters are allophonically preceded by an extra-short vowel.
