In Syzkyn, stress can be located on any syllable in a word. Typically, in words of Norse origin, primary stress is on the first syllable, often occurring on other syllables in words of non-Norse origin. However, stress remains on the same syllable in all inflected forms. | |||

Syzkyn is a North Germanic language spoken predominantly in the Syzkyn Republic, a Federal Subject of the Russian Federation located in the western Caucasus. It is the native language of the Syzkyn people, who are thought to be the only descents of the Scandinavian Rus' people who were not fully assimilated.

- /ə/ has several allophones:

Prosody
In Syzkyn, stress can be located on any syllable in a word. Typically, in words of Norse origin, primary stress is on the first syllable, often occurring on other syllables in words of non-Norse origin. However, stress remains on the same syllable in all inflected forms.
