Phonology

  • Czh clusters = /Cj/ in Modern Tseezh, while it was /Cr/ in Classical Tseezh.
  • Syllable-final zh = [ʃ] in Modern Tseezh.
  • Otherwise zh = [r] in Modern Tseezh.
  • dh is pronounced [ɣ] in conservative accents. Usually it disappears and causes compensatory lengthening of the previous vowel.
  • Unstressed nasal vowels > syllabic nasals: oozhad > nzhad

Nasal/nonnasal vowel split

a e i o u ø /ɑ æ i o ü ə/

aa ee ii oo uu øø = /ã ẽj~ẽ e õw~õ u ɚ/

e /æ/ is [ɛ] before nasals and zh.

o /o/ is [u] after /w/.
