| ''Étaoin'' (Standard) {{SUBPAGENAME}} is defined by a set of grammar rules, rather than by an accent (as long as it is intelligible to the majority of {{SUBPAGENAME}} speakers).

| ===Stress===
| |
| In native words, primary stress usually falls on the first syllable, except for some inflected prepositions. In loans, stress may not be initial; in that case, vowels before the stressed syllable are ''not'' reduced.
