* The short high rounded vowel /ʏ/ is a loan from [[Dalitian]], and is not found in any native words, or words dating back to Old Aeranir. It is usually realised as [ɪ], and is only rounded in educated speech. | * The short high rounded vowel /ʏ/ is a loan from [[Dalitian]], and is not found in any native words, or words dating back to Old Aeranir.

* The vowels /ɨ/, /ʉ/, /æ/, and /ɵ/ are technically reduced allophones of full /ɪ/, /ʊ/, /ɛ/, and /ɔ/ in non-stressed word internal syllables. They cannot occure outside of these contraints. However, Aeranid grammaticians considered them to be separate sounds, and wrote them differently, so they are distinguished in this chart. They were also devoiced between [[w:Voicelessness|voiceless consonants]], and assimilated to preceeding [[w:Soronant|sonorants]], creating long soronants.. | |||
