Allowed final consonants: [p t c k m n ɲ ŋ l ʀ w j x]
 
*The older pronunciation of /ʀ/ as [r] is maintained in some dialects and in classical performances.

Diphthongs, not counting "r-colored" diphthongs: '''ae aö ao äi ei öü ou ia/ea ua''' /ae aə ao ɛɪ əɪ əɨ əʊ iə uə/
 
Vowels with -j or -w finals: '''üu üi ui ai âi åi eai uai eau/iau aoi aöi''' /ɨw ɨj uj aːj ɑːj ɔːj iəj uəj iəw aoj aəj/
 
====R-coloring====
Like German, Trâi vocalizes syllable-final /ʀ/ to [ɐ] after certain nuclei, which heavily affects preceding vowels.
*/iː, iə/ + /ʀ/ > [iːɐ]
*/ɨː, ɨə/ + /ʀ/ > [ɨːɐ]
*/uː, uə/ + /ʀ/ > [uːɐ]
*/eː/ + /ʀ/ > [eːɐ]
*/əː, əɨ/ + /ʀ/ > [əːɐ]
*/oː/ + /ʀ/ > [oːɐ]
*/ɛː, ɛɪ/ > [ɛːɐ]
*/ɔː/ + /ʀ/ > [ɔːɐ]
*/əɪ/ + /ʀ/ > [əɪɐ]
*/əʊ/ + /ʀ/ > [əʊɐ]
*/ae/ + /ʀ/ > [aɪɐ]
*/ao/ + /ʀ/ > [aʊɐ]
*/aː, aə/ + /ʀ/ > [aː]
*/ɑ, ɑː/ + /ʀ/ > [ɑː]
 
===Phonotactics===
A word may not end in a short vowel; it also may end in at most one consonant. There are also many complex initial clusters and sesquisyllabic words.
===Rules for writing rimes===
*Following a long vowel or diphthong, the finals /p t c k m n ɲ ŋ l ʀ x/ are written as {{angbr|'''p t z k hm hn hnz hng hl hr s'''}}. The ''h'' is not used for resonant finals if the nucleus is a diphthong or '''ie''' /iː/.
*Following a short vowel, the finals /p t c k m n ŋ l ʀ x/ are written as {{angbr|'''pp tt zz ck mm nn nz ng ll rr ch'''}}.
