===Vowels /ä äː ɑ̤/===

/ä/ (usually simply transcribed as /a/), statistically the most common vowel phoneme in Chlouvānem, is an open central unrounded vowel [ä] in most local pronunciations, but is better transcribed as near-open [ɐ] for the Jade Coastal ones and in a few Eastern Plain ones (notably in the ~~Lāmyejāya~~ Delta); this slightly closer realization has been spreading to Standard Chlouvānem.

/ɔə̯/ varies much more diatopically, with the [ɔə̯] realization (likely the Classical one) being mostly only persistant in the Standard, in the Near East, in the North, and in the West. Most other areas have a fronted and more closed second element in [ɔɪ̯]; the Southern Far East usually has a more closed first element in [oə̯], while the southern Jade Coast and parts of the Southern coast have both in [oɪ̯]. Opening, rounding, and backing of the second element to [ɔɒ̯] is found almost exclusively in a coastal strip from just north of Taitepamba through Līlta (where [ɔɪ̯] is however also found) to the ~~Lāmyejāya~~ Delta included, and is a possible realization in the Standard. Finally, a realization as a rounded front vowel is found in the southern rainforest and adjacent areas, including the whole of the Līlasuṃghāṇa metro area.
