Vowel length is supposed to be phonemic, with regular (or short) vowels, and long vowels.


Similarly to consonants, some vowels had to be "re-identified" from previous documentation and some deviations arise :

=====History=====
Like most, if not all, versions of Tolsian, Qtolqjimctadû was meant to be written with the original Tolsian script. Some graphemes were chosen because of the limitations of the French keyboard, but were initally supposed to correspond to another, preexisting grapheme, with a diacritic, in order to reflect the original script. Some graphemes with diacritic are supposed to represent letters in the original script that are not simply versions of another letter with a diacritic ; this is why in the list below, <nowiki><ë></nowiki> appears to represent /e/, alongside <nowiki><ç></nowiki>, whereas in <Ë, ë> it represents /bɾə/ in the alphabet : they have different underlying identities.
<poem>
<e> with diaeresis ¨ becomes <ç> (or <ë>)
<e> with cedilla or possibly hook below (''accent « petite courbe vers le bas »'') becomes <ù> (or <ĕ>)
<e> with circumflex accent ^ becomes <ÿ> (or <ê>)
<O, o> (or <Ô, ô> ?) with circumflex accent becomes <Õ, õ>
<U, u> with dieresis becomes <Ü, ü>
<U, u> with circumflex accent becomes <Û, û>
<Â, â> with circumflex accent becomes <Ê, ê>
<Î, î> with circumflex accent becomes <Ï, ï>
<ä> with cedilla or hook below becomes <à> (o <ă>)
<ä> with circumflex becomes <é> (or <â>)
<ä> with diaeresis becomes <è> (or <ä>)
<Â, â> with circumflex becomes <Ã, ã>
</poem>
====Spelling rules====
Long vowels are spelled with doubled graphemes (<Aa, aa> /a:/, etc).
Some graphemes, namely <E, e> /ə/ ; <E, ç/ë> /e/ ; <E, ù/ĕ> /œ/ ; <E, ÿ/ê> /ɛ/ and <Ä, ä> /ɑ̃/ ; <Ä, à/ă> /ɔ̃/ ; <Ä, é/â> /ɛ̃/ ; <Ä, è/ä /œ̃/> use the same capital letter, but different minuscule letters, for different phonemes. This is partly due to limitations on a French keyboard, and partly to reflect the original Tolsian script in which these phonemes use the same letter but with different diacritics.


====Table of phonemes and their corresponding graphemes====
The grapheme <Î, î> denotes /ɨ/, except in front of some consonants (<F, f>, <V, v>, <Q, q>, <Ö, ö>, <Ñ, ñ>, <X, x>, <H, h>) ; the grapheme <Ï, ï> is used instead in order to denote /ɨ/.
 
There are many digraphs and even trigraphs ; usually, all letters are capitalized, when capitalization is needed.
=====Digraphs with <Î, î>=====
In the original documentation, these are described as "purified" (''épurés'').
<poem>
ÎF, îf /ɸ/
ÎV, îv /β/
ÎQ, îq /ɧ̙ʷ/
ÎÖ, îö /ɧ̙ʷ̬/
ÎÑ, îñ /ŋ/
ÎX, îx /x/
ÎH, îh unknown, possibly /ɣ/
</poem>
It is unclear if the following are considered to be "purified" :
<poem>
<Äî, äî> /an/
<Äî, àî> /on/ or /ɔn/
<Äî, éî> /in/ or /im/
<Äî, èî> /un/ or /œm/
</poem>
=====Trigraphs with <Î, î>=====
These were also considered to be "purified".
<poem>
LÎÖ, lîö /ɧ̙ʷ̬/
ÎÑg, îñg /ᵑg/
</poem>
=====Digraphs with <Û, û>=====
Some of these digraphs were originally described as "wet" (''mouillés'') :
<poem>
TÛ, tû /t̚/
QÛ, qû /ʃʲ/ (probably realized [ç] or [ɕ])
DÛ, dû /d̚/
</poem>
Others were not considered to be "wet" :
<poem>
LÛ, lû /r/
HÛ, hû possibly /ɬ/ or /ɮ/
ĦÛ, ħû /ɾ/
RÛ, rû /ɹ/ 
 
=====Trigraphs with <Û, û>=====
There is only one such trigraph, and only the first letter is capitalized, if needed. It is possibly meant to appear only word-initially as it was only given as <Tûhh> :
Tûhh /θ/
 
=====Digraphs with <Ħ, ħ>=====
These can also be written as trigraphs, swapping <Ħ, ħ> for <Hh, hh>. As digraphs, one may likewise capitalize both letters or only the first one. As trigraphs, Only the first letter is capitalized.
Ħ, ħ can be found on its own but is soundless. It may be used as part of the following digraphs, or used to maintain a hiatus between vowels and <I, i> or <O, o>. It can also be written <Hh, hh>.
PĦ/Pħ, pħ /f/ (or <Phh, phh>)
TĦ/Tħ, tħ /s/ (or <Thh, thh>
JĦ/Jħ, jħ /ʒ/ (or <Jhh, jhh>)
BĦ/Bħ, bħ /v/ (or <Bhh, bhh>)
DĦ/Dħ, dħ /z/ (or <Dhh, dhh>)
SĦ/Sħ, sħ /z/ (or <Shh, shh>)
 
=====Digraphs and trigraph with <Ë, ë>=====
The phoneme /ɾ/ also appears as part of a syllable /bɾə/, written <Ë, ë>. When <Ë, ë> is followed by a vowel, the /ə/ is replaced by that vowel :
Ëa, ëa [bɾa]
Ëç, ëç [bɾe]
Ëÿ, ëÿ [bɾɛ]
Ëu, ëu [bɾy]
Ëo, ëo [bɾo] or [bɾɔ]
Ëï, ëï [bɾi]
Ëä, ëä [bɾɑ̃]
Ëà, ëà [bɾɔ̃]
Ëé, ëé [bɾɛ̃]
Ëè, ëè [bɾœ̃]
Ëou, ëou [bɾu]
</poem>
 
=====Some more consonantal digraphs=====
RX, rx /ʀ/
QJ/Qj, qj /ʒ/
=====Vocalic digraphs=====
<poem>
<Oi, oi> [i]
<EU/Eu, eu> [ø]
<OU/Ou, ou> [u]
<EA, ea> [ɛ]
(But <Ea, ea> [əa])
<OE/Oe, oe> [ø]
<EÔ/Eô, eô> [œ]
</poem>
=====Nasal vowels=====
Some digraphs and trigraphs denote nasal vowels, with <N, n> and <M, m> :
<poem>
<An, an> /ɑ̃/
<Am, am> /ɑ̃/
<En, en> /ɑ̃/
<Em, em> /ɑ̃/
<In, in> /ɛ̃/
<Im, im> /ɛ̃/
<Ein, ein> /ɛ̃/
<Eim, eim> /ɛ̃/
<On, on> /ɔ̃/
<Om, om> /ɔ̃/
<Un, un> /œ̃/
<Um, um> /œ̃/
</poem>
However, if there are two <N, n> or <M, m> following a vowel, then it is not nasalized but pronounced as V+[n or m] instead (<Ann, ann> [an], <Amm, amm> [am],... etc). Besides, vocalic graphemes other than <A, a>, <E, e>, <I, i>, <O, o>, <U, u> do not get nasalized when followed by an <N, n> or <M, m>.
=====Diphtongues=====
They have been described as diphtongues, but should rather be analyzed as combinations of vowels and approximants. There are three different approximants : /j/, /w/ and /ɥ/, which only appear in a limited number of cases.
*Diphtongues /j/ + vowel :
They are usually written with a <I, i> followed by a vowel. There is a list of accepted spellings where <I, i> stands for /j/ :
<poem>
<Ia, ia> [ja]
<Ie, ie> [jə]
<Iç, iç> [je]
<Iù, iù> [jœ]
<Iÿ, iÿ> [jɛ]
<Io, io> [jo] or [jɔ]
<Iu, iu> [jy]
<Iô, iô> [jo]
<Iä, iä> [jɑ̃]
<Ià, ià> [jɔ̃]
<Ié, ié> [jɛ̃]
<Iè, iè> [jœ̃]
<Ii, ii> [ji]
<Iou, iou> [ju]
<Ieu, ieu> [jø]
</poem>
However, there are a few exceptions :
<poem>
ÜÃ, üã [ja]
ÜÕ, üõ [jo]
</poem>
*Diphtongues vowel + /j/ :
They are usually written with a <Ü, ü> preceded by a vowel. There is a list of accepted spellings where <Ü, ü> stands for /j/ (minus the exceptions above) :
<poem>
<AÜ, aü> [aj]
<EÜ, eü> [əj]
<EÜ, çü> [ej]
<EÜ, ùü> [œj]
<EÜ, ÿü> [ɛj]
<OÜ, oü> [oj] or [ɔj]
<UÜ, uü> [yj]
<ÔÜ, ôü> [oj]
<ÄÜ, äü> [aɑ̃j]
<ÄÜ, àü> [ɔ̃j]
<ÄÜ, éü> [ɛ̃j]
<ÄÜ, èü> [œ̃j]
<ÃÜ, ãü> [aj]
<ÕÜ, õü> [oj]
<EUÜ, euü> [øj]
</poem>
There are also a few exceptions :
<poem>
EÎ, eî [əj]
EÎ, çî [ej]
EÎ, ùî [œj]
EÎ, ÿî [ɛj]
IÎ, iî [ij]
</poem>
*Diphtongues with /w/ :
These are usually written with a <O, o>, either followed or preceded by a vowel. There is a list of accepted spellings where <O, o> stands for /w/ :
<poem>
<Oa, oa> [wa]
<Oe, oe> [wə]
<Oç, oç> [we]
<Où, où> [wœ]
<Oÿ, oÿ> [wɛ]
<Oo, oo> [wo] or [wɔ]
<Oy, oy> [wy]
<Oô, oô> [wo]
<Oä, oä> [wɑ̃]
<Oà, oà> [wɔ̃]
<Oé, oé> [wɛ̃]
<Oè, oè> [wœ̃] (This one was described as [wœ̃] already in the original documentation (instead of expected [wæ̃] and has therefore cast some doubt on the identification of vowels /ø/, /œ/ and /œ̃/.)
<Oi, oi> [wi]
<Oeu, oeu> [wø]
And reciprocally (<Ao, ao> [aw]... etc).
</poem>
There are however a few exceptions :
<poem>
<Io, io> is ambiguous and can denote either /iw/ or /jo/
<Oi, oi> is ambiguous and can denote either /i/ or /wi/
<Oe, oe> is ambiguous and can denote either /wə/ or /ø/
<OU/Ou, ou> always denotes /u/ (/wy/ is denoted <Oy, oy> instead).
</poem>
*Diphtongues with /ɥ/ :
<poem>
UÎ, uî [ɥi]
Ui, ui [ɥi]
Ua, ua [ɥa]
Uç, uç [ɥe]
Uÿ, uÿ [ɥɛ]
</poem>
=====Triphtongues=====
They should also be analyzed as combinations of approximant + vowel + approximant. Besides using <I, i> and <O, o> or even <Ü, ü> and <U, u>, there is a handful of special spellings that denote such "triphtongues" :
<poem>
ÜÂ, üâ [jaj]
ÜY, üy [jɔj]
ÊÜ, êü [jaj]
YÜ, yü [joj] or [jɔj]
ÃÎ, ãî [aji]
ÕÎ, õî [oji]
</poem>
=====Word-final position induced changes=====
The original consonants /g/ <G, g>, /l/ <L, l> and syllable /wi/ <W, w> turn into [j] when in a word-final position. Instead, the spellings <gue>, <lle> and <wi> are used.
<poem>
<g> /j/
<l> /j/
<w> /j/
<gue> /g/
<lle> /l/
<wi> /wi/
</poem>
There are some other special spellings :
<poem>
<ebm> /ɛjm/
<ebn> /ɛjn/
</poem>
Finally, some letters are simply not pronounced at the end of a word, and other spellings are used instead :
<poem>
<e>
<ô>
<d>
<nowiki><q></nowiki>
<nowiki><s></nowiki>
<t>
<z>
<er>
<dde> /d/
<qe> /ʃ/
<sse> /θ/ (or possibly /s/ ?)
<tte> /t/
<ze> /z/
</poem>

'''Notes on consonants :'''
<poem>
'''(1)''' There are a few exceptions, where <ü> appears in front of a vowel, or <î> is used after a vowel :
ÜÃ, üã [ja]
ÜÕ, üõ [jo]
EÎ, eî [əj]
EÎ, çî [ej]
EÎ, ùî [œj]
EÎ, ÿî [ɛj]
IÎ, iî [ij]
There is a list of accepted spelling where <I, i> stands for /j/ :
<Ia, ia> [ja]
<Ie, ie> [jə]
<Iç, iç> [je]
<Iù, iù> [jœ]
<Iÿ, iÿ> [jɛ]
<Io, io> [jo] or [jɔ]
<Iu, iu> [jy]
<Iô, iô> [jo]
<Iä, iä> [jɑ̃]
<Ià, ià> [jɔ̃]
<Ié, ié> [jɛ̃]
<Iè, iè> [jœ̃]
<Ii, ii> [ji]
<Iou, iou> [ju]
<Ieu, ieu> [jø]
And a list of accepted spellings where <Ü, ü> stands for /j/ (minus the exceptions above) :
<AÜ, aü> [aj]
<EÜ, eü> [əj]
<EÜ, çü> [ej]
<EÜ, ùü> [œj]
<EÜ, ÿü> [ɛj]
<OÜ, oü> [oj] or [ɔj]
<UÜ, uü> [yj]
<ÔÜ, ôü> [oj]
<ÄÜ, äü> [aɑ̃j]
<ÄÜ, àü> [ɔ̃j]
<ÄÜ, éü> [ɛ̃j]
<ÄÜ, èü> [œ̃j]
<ÃÜ, ãü> [aj]
<ÕÜ, õü> [oj]
<EUÜ, euü> [øj]
Some other exceptions are due to original consonants /g/ <G, g>, /l/ <L, l> and syllable /wi/ <W, w> turning into [j] when in a word-final position. Instead, the spellings <gue>, <lle> and <wi> are used to denote the sounds [g], [l] and [wi] at the end of a word.
'''(2)''' The phoneme /ɥ/ only appears in a handful of diphtongues :
UÎ, uî [ɥi]
Ui, ui [ɥi]
Ua, ua [ɥa]
Uç, uç [ɥe]
Uÿ, uÿ [ɥɛ]
'''(3)''' The grapheme <io> is thus ambiguous and can denote either /iw/ or /jo/. Similarly, <Oi, oi> denotes either /i/ or /wi/, and <Oe, oe>, which denotes either /wə/ or /ø/. Another exception is <OU/Ou, ou> which denotes /u/.
There is a list of accepted spellings where <O, o> stands for /w/ :
<Oa, oa> [wa]
<Oe, oe> [wə]
<Oç, oç> [we]
<Où, où> [wœ]
<Oÿ, oÿ> [wɛ]
<Oo, oo> [wo] or [wɔ]
<Oy, oy> [wy]
<Oô, oô> [wo]
<Oä, oä> [wɑ̃]
<Oà, oà> [wɔ̃]
<Oé, oé> [wɛ̃]
<Oè, oè> [wœ̃] (This one was described as [wœ̃] already in the original documentation (instead of expected [wæ̃] and has therefore cast some doubt on the identification of vowels /ø/, /œ/ and /œ̃/.)
<Oi, oi> [wi]
<Oeu, oeu> [wø]
And reciprocally (<Ao, ao> [aw]... etc).
'''(4)''' The phoneme /ɾ/ also appears as part of a syllable /bɾə/, written <Ë, ë>. When <Ë, ë> is followed by a vowel, the /ə/ is replaced by that vowel :
Ëa, ëa [bɾa]
Ëç, ëç [bɾe]
Ëÿ, ëÿ [bɾɛ]
Ëu, ëu [bɾy]
Ëo, ëo [bɾo] or [bɾɔ]
Ëï, ëï [bɾi]
Ëä, ëä [bɾɑ̃]
Ëà, ëà [bɾɔ̃]
Ëé, ëé [bɾɛ̃]

'''Notes on vowels :'''
<poem>
Long vowels are simply written with a double grapheme (<Aa, aa> /a:/,... etc).
'''(1)''' The grapheme <Î, î> denotes /ɨ/, except in front of some consonants (<F, f>, <V, v>, <Q, q>, <Ö, ö>, <Ñ, ñ>, <X, x>, <H, h>) ; the grapheme <Ï, ï> is used instead in order to denote /ɨ/.
'''(2)''' Nasal vowels can also be written with some vowels followed by a <N, n> or a <M, m> :
/ɑ̃/ <An, an> ; <Am, am> ; <En, en> ; <Em, em>
/ɛ̃/ <In, in> , <Im, im> ; <Ein, ein> ; <Eim, eim>
/ɔ̃/ <On, on> ; <Om, om>
/œ̃/ <Un, un> ; <Um, um>
However, if there are two <N, n> or <M, m> following a vowel, then it is not nasalized and pronounced as V+[n or m] (<Ann, ann> [an], <Amm, amm> [am],... etc).
</poem>
'''General notes :'''
<poem>
The grapheme <Ħ, ħ> can also be written <Hh, hh>.
There are a few more noteworthy spellings with unexpected pronunciations :
<Äî, äî> [an]
<Äî, àî> [on] or [ɔn]
<Äî, éî> [in] or [im]
<Äî, èî> [un] or [œm]
<ÜÂ, üâ> [jaj]
<ÜY, üy> [jɔj]
<ÊÜ, êü> [jaj]
<YÜ, yü> [joj] or [jɔj]
<ÃÎ, ãî> [aji]
<ÕÎ, õî> [oji]
Word-final spellings :
Besides the final <g>, <l> and <wi> that become [j], there are also final <ebm> and <ebn> that are pronounced [ɛjm] and [ɛjn], respectively.
Moreover, final <e>, <ô>, <d>, <q>, <nowiki><s>, <t>, <z>, <er> are not pronounced. Instead, final spellings <dde>, <qe>, <sse>, <tte>, <ze> are pronounced [d], [ʃ], [θ] (or possibly [s) ?), [t], [z], respectively.

===Nouns===
Nouns have three genders in Qtolqjimctadû : neuter, masculine, and feminine. Genders are marked by the ending. Nouns that represent inanimate things are usually neutral, with masculine and feminine generally found in nouns that represent animate things. Some nouns can have all three genders (for example, male and female animal names are often built on the same underlying neutral form). Nouns also have two numbers : singular and plural. The plural is marked with a suffix that comes after any gender mark, while the singular is unmarked. The "dictionary" form when a given noun can have several genders is the singular neuter. Most nouns in the singular neuter end either with a <nowiki><e></nowiki> or with a consonant. The plural takes a different form depending on the ending of the word, in the singular neuter if applicable.
