====Nasal vowels====

Eevo has nasal vowels, which arose from historical V + /l/ sequences.

In many accents nasal vowels are also diphthongized [iw̃ yw̃ uw̃ ew̃ əw̃ ow̃ ɛw̃ ɔ̃w aw̃] or pharyngealized [ĩˤ ỹˤ ũˤ ẽˤ ə̃ˤ õˤ ɛ̃ˤ ɔ̃ˤ ãˤ]. Some accents realize them as long vowels (with no nasalization). A handful of remote dialects pronounce them as pharyngealized vowels or vowels followed by [ɫ].

This is how nasal vowels are written in the orthography:
