Broad Sairstír Celinese has a somewhat more complex vowel inventory than Standard Elithoan Celinese, but it does share some important divergent traits with other Celinese varieties. Like most varieties of Circassír Celinese, it is differentiates soft and hard pronunciations of <c> and <g>; it is one of the major varieties - alongside some Laurien and Western Islands dialects - that features patalalisation of liquids and fricatives in certain environments. It is also one of the very few Celinese varieties to have both word-initial and word-final affricates. | |||

* <c> and <g> are pronounced [k] and [g] when preceding [ɑ o̝] and allophones, and as [ɕ], [ʑ] before [ɨ ʉ e y] and their allophones. [ɕ] and [ʑ] have retroflex allophones, [ʂ] [ʐ], which appear before [ɑ o̝] and are typically transcribed as ''<ce>'' (or ''<se>'', ''<si>'' or ''<ci>'') and ''<ge>'' (or ''<gi>'', ''<re>'' and ''<ri>'') - for example, in words such as ''rioc'' (bitter) [ʐɔx] or ''ciora'' [ˈʂoːɹɒ]. | |||
