Phonology

  • th~ts merger like Hanoi Vietnamese
  • Different pronunciations of Classical r:
    • Cr clusters = /Cj/ in Modern Tseezh, while it was /Cr/ in Classical Tseezh.
    • Syllable-final r = [ʃ]
    • Otherwise r = [r]
  • ð is pronounced [ɣ] in conservative accents. Usually it disappears and causes compensatory lengthening of the previous vowel.

Nasal/nonnasal vowel split

a e i o u ø /ɑ æ i o ü ə/ + að eð ið oð uð øð (long versions)

aa ee ii oo uu øø = /ã ẽj~ẽ e õw~õ u ɚ/ + aað eeð iið ooð uuð øøð long versions [These also occur for V + nasal consonant]

e /æ/ is [ɛ] before zh.

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