| 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'''}}.
