When voiced consonants are found in final position, they are devoiced and become voiceless. The ''z'' and ''v'' can be pronounced respectively [s] and [f] when at the beginning of a word, this pronounciation is not compulsory and is rather dialectal, though.

===Diphthongs, false diphthongs and vowel length===
===Diphthongs, false diphthongs and vowel length===


In Aarlaansk there are only three diphthongs:
In Aarlaansc there are only three diphthongs:


* ''ei'' [ɛi̯] > [ə];
* ''ei'' [ɛi̯] > [ə];
Line 201: Line 196:
* ''oe'' [u:].  
* ''oe'' [u:].  


The diphthongs, the false diphthongs and the letter ''ij'' are always long in Aarlaansk, while the letter ''i'' is always short. The letters ''a'', ''e'', ''o'', and ''u'' can be both short and long, instead. To indicate the vowel length of these four vowels, this language uses a special system that is based on the kind of syllables.
The diphthongs, the false diphthongs and the letter ''ij'' are always long in Aarlaansc, while the letter ''i'' is always short. The letters ''a'', ''e'', ''o'', and ''u'' can be both short and long, instead. To indicate the vowel length of these four vowels, this language uses a special system that is based on the kind of syllables.


There are two kind of syllables: they can be both open and closed. A syllable is open when it ends with a vowel (so ''ma'', ''te'', ''ko'', ''su'' are all open syllables); a syllable is closed when it ends with a consonant (so ''mat'', ''tek'', ''kos'', ''sum'' are all closed syllables).
There are two kind of syllables: they can be both open and closed. A syllable is open when it ends with a vowel (so ''ma'', ''te'', ''ko'', ''su'' are all open syllables); a syllable is closed when it ends with a consonant (so ''mat'', ''tek'', ''kos'', ''sum'' are all closed syllables).
Line 215: Line 210:
* ''mat'' (''a'' is short) > ''mat'''t'''e'' (''a'' remains short, but a short vowel occurs never in an open syllable, so we need to double the following consonant to maintain the syllable closed).
* ''mat'' (''a'' is short) > ''mat'''t'''e'' (''a'' remains short, but a short vowel occurs never in an open syllable, so we need to double the following consonant to maintain the syllable closed).


However, when two vowels that form a hiatus are found together, the rules change a little bit: if the first vowel is written just one time it is considered short, even if it is at the end of the syllable (that is even if the syllable is open), otherwise, if it is long, it has to be written doubled, ex.:
However, when a vowel forms a diphthong with ''j'' or ''w'', it is written doubled when it is long, ex.:


* ''mëic'', "doctor", is read ['mεik], ''ëi'' is not a diphthong: ''më-ic'', the ''e'' is short;
* ''hooj'', "today", is read ['ho:i̯], ''o'' is long;
* ''ooijr'', "to hear", is read [o:εi̯r], ''ooij'' is not a diphthong: ''oo-ijr'', the ''o'' is long.
* ''raj'', "ray", is read ['ʀɑi̯], ''a'' is short.


There are also words whose pronunciation is tricky: how is the word ''deeuw'', "god", pronounced? Either as ['de:ɶu̯] or as ['dεø:u̯]? Do the vowels ''e'' and ''u'' form a diphthong or a hiatus? In such cases it is used a dieresis to help the reader. The dieresis indicates that the following vowel doesn't form a diphthong, f.ex. the word ''deeuw'' is written ''dëeuw'': the dieresis indicates that the second ''e'' isn't part of a long ''e'', but it is part of the diphthong ''eu'', thus ''dëeuw'' is read as ['dεø:u̯].

The regular verbs are formed adding particular endings to the root form. The root form of a verb is obtained just dropping the infinitive ending and adding the personal endings. Of course to obtain the root form is necessary to pay attention to the vowel length, that must be maintained (unless the verb is irregular). Moreover if the verb root ends with ''-v'' or ''-z'', these letters become unvoiced in the three singular persons voices.
The regular verbs are formed adding particular endings to the root form. The root form of a verb is obtained just dropping the infinitive ending and adding the personal endings. Of course to obtain the root form is necessary to pay attention to the vowel length, that must be maintained (unless the verb is irregular). Moreover if the verb root ends with ''-v'' or ''-z'', these letters become unvoiced in the three singular persons voices.

Beside the ''preterryt'' there is another verbal form that expresses an action that has happened in the past: the '''pervegt'''. This form is similar to the English present perfect, because it is formed with the present of the verb ''haar'' and the past participle of the main verb. In Aarlaansk, however, this form is completely interchangeable with the ''preterryt'' form: it is just a matter of style and of formality, because the ''pervegt'' is more used among friends and in colloquial speech, whereas the ''preterryt'' is more used in written language and in formal meetings.
