i, e, ɛ, a, ɔ, o, u<ref>These are actually represented by the symbols i, e, η, a, o, υ, u. This is an interpretation of Dalgarno's somewhat obscurely expressed intent, as he may have intended a symmetrical 7-vowel system.</ref>
i, e, η, a, o, υ, u
Diphthongs: ai, ei, ɔi
These perhaps represent the sounds /i/ /e/ /ɛ/ /a/ /ɔ/ /o/ /u/, if Dalgarno's intent (somewhat obscurely expressed) was a symmetrical 7-vowel system. Their actual pronunciation, considering Dalgarno's probable native phonology, may have been closer to /i~ɪ/, /e/, /ɛ/, /æ~a/, /ɒ/, /ɔ~ʊ/, /u/.
Diphthongs: ai, ei, oi
