By default, primary stress falls on the last "long" syllable (i.e. syllable that is closed and/or contains a long vowel). If there are no long syllables, the initial syllable is stressed. Words that do not conform to this rule are indicated in this article with an acute accent. Some exceptions are nouns that end in a consonant in the absolutive and words nominalized with ''-n/m'', which behave as if they ended in a vowel (e.g. ''Maxammad'' is pronounced ''Maxámmad'', not ''Maxammád''). A word may contain multiple stressed syllables, in which case primary stress falls on the final stressed syllable.

A final long vowel is stressed by default. If the word ends in a consonant or semi-vowel, the final vowel is stressed. If the word ends in a vowel, the penultimate syllable is stressed. Words that differ from these rules indicate stress with an acute accent in the Latin orthography. Secondary stress may be indicated with a grave accent. Exceptions include subordinating ''-n'' and enclitics such as ''-ne'' "and", which do not affect stress.

Words that differ from these rules indicate primary stress with an acute accent in the Latin orthography. Secondary stress is usually not indicated, but it may be indicated with a grave accent (this article does so somewhat inconsistently). Exceptions include subordinating ''-n'' and enclitics such as ''-ne'' "and", which do not affect stress.
