Phonology

"Czech with more vowels and simpler phonotactics"

Consonants

p b t d ť ď c (dz) č dž k g f þ s š ch w v z ž h m n ň ŋ l r ř j /p b t d c ɟ ts dz tʃ dʒ k ɣ f θ s ʃ x w v z ʒ h m n ɲ ŋ l~ɫ ɾ~ɹ r̝ j/

m n ŋ can be syllabic

Glottal reinforcement, but no gemination

Vowels

a e/ě i/y o u á/ar é/er/ěr ij/ei ó/or ú eu/ui ie/ir oe/ur ou r ŕ /ɐ ɛ (j)ɛ ɪ ɔ (Japanese u) ɑː(ɹ) ɛː(ɹ) ɪj~ɛɪ ɔː(ɹ) (Japanese ū) œː eː(ɹ) oː(ɹ) əʊ ə(ɹ) ɜː(ɹ)/

ě i ie ij eu are palatalizing; all other orthographic vowels are nonpalatalizing

Suprasegmentals

Long vowels take two morae; downstep as in Japanese

Historically hard-soft vowel pairs

Some vowel letters denote palatalization of the preceding consonant. For example, dě tě ně are read as if they were spelled ďe ťe ňe.

  • hard y ~ soft i
  • hard u ~ soft i
  • hard a ~ soft ě
  • hard o ~ soft ě
  • hard ei ~ soft ij
  • hard ou ~ soft eu
  • hard ui ~ soft eu
  • hard oe ~ soft ie
  • hard ú ~ soft ij

Long vowels result from OSL čettijn > četijn; četijn > čeetijn
