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/.
