*Long vowels are marked by a macron above a vowel. The vowel [ɒ] is written as "å" and [ɒː] is written as "ḁ̄" with a ring below to avoid overlaying. The quality of "ǫ" is unknown, but it was likely a mid vowel. Originally it could only be long, but later the short counterpart was innovated and used in a few analogically generated morphological categories. for that reason "ǭ" is often used too distinguish these sounds. | *Long vowels are marked by a macron above a vowel.

Proto-Ketan vowels could be either long or short. Unlike in many modern languages, a sequence of two vowels was not permitted in Proto-Ketan. There were no diphthongs either. | Proto-Ketan vowels could be either long or short. Unlike in many modern languages, a sequence of two vowels was not permitted in Proto-Ketan.
