*l is pronounced [ʁ̃] before a vowel.

*/ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ ã ɔ̃/ = [yː uː uː ɛu oː ɔu ɔu ʌː ɑː ɔː]

*/ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ ã ɔ̃/ = [yː uː uː eː oː ɔu ɔu ʌː ɑː ɔː]

**Linking L after nasal vowels, even when not historically nasal

*/iə yə uə/ = [iː yː uː]

Line 53:

*Especially in working-class accents, /ð/ may become [z], and /θ/ may participate in a chain shift: /θ/ > [t] and /t/ > [d].

*For the 1st person pronoun ''naw'', the form ''no'' is preferred in colloquial speech. Due to the L-linking rule (see above), this has led to the stereotype of Skellans saying ''nol'' for ''naw'' among non-Skellans.

Alcvean Skellan uses the Scottish vowel length rule:

* {{IPA|/ə/}}, {{IPA|/ɪ/}}, {{IPA|/ɛ/}}, {{IPA|/ɑ, a/}}, {{IPA|/ɔ/}} and {{IPA|/ʌ/}} (15, 16, 17, 18 and 19) are usually short.

** In some Modern Scots varieties vowel 17 ({{IPA|/ɑ/}}) may merge with vowel 12 ({{IPA|/ɑː/}}) in long environments.<ref name="Aitken A.J. 1981 p.150"/> In [[Ulster Scots dialects|Ulster Scots]] {{IPA|/ɛ/}}, {{IPA|/ɑ/}} and {{IPA|/ɔ/}} (16, 17 and 18) are usually always long and the {{IPA|[əʉ]}} realisation of vowel 13 is short before a [[voiceless consonant]] or before a [[sonorant]] followed by a voiceless consonant but long elsewhere.<ref>Harris J. (1984) English in the north of Ireland in Trudgill P., Language in the British Isles, Cambridge p.120</ref>

* {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/e/}}, {{IPA|/o/}}, {{IPA|/u/}}, {{IPA|/ø/}} {{IPA|/ju/}} are usually long in the following environments and short elsewhere:

** In stressed syllables before [[voiced fricative]]s, namely {{IPA|/v, ð, z, ʒ/}}, and also before {{IPA|/r/}}.

** Before another vowel.

** Before a morpheme boundary.

* The long {{IPA|/ɑː/}}, {{IPA|/ɒː/}} or {{IPA|/ɔː/}} realisations of vowel 12 usually occur in all environments in final stressed [[syllable]]s.<ref name="Aitken A.J. 1981 p.150"/>

* {{IPA|/iː/}} and {{IPA|/eː/}} (11 and 8) are usually long.
