+Eevo has nasal vowels, which arose from historical V + /l/ sequences. In acrolectal accents, they are pharyngealized nasal vowels (/ĩˤ ỹˤ ũˤ ẽˤ ø̃ˤ ə̃ˤ õˤ ɛ̃ˤ ɔ̃ˤ ãˤ/). In many accents nasal vowels may also be diphthongized (say, [iw̃ yw̃ uw̃ ew̃ øw̃ əw̃ ow̃ ɛw̃ œw̃ ɔ̃w aw̃]). Some accents realize them as long vowels (with no nasalization). A handful of remote dialects pronounce them as pharyngealized vowels or vowels followed by [ɫ].
