Vowels vary more among different dialects, as long vowels are realized as diphthongs in many areas (notably in the vast majority of Cerian dialects of Púríton — e.g. ''élógen'' "lamp" [eːˈroːgen] (Standard Cerian); [eɪ̯ˈruːgen] (NE Coastal Púrítoné)). The table above refers to Standard Cerian, the standardized pronunciation in Ceria and a few other Evandorian Cerian-speaking countries. | Vowels vary more among different dialects, as long vowels are realized as diphthongs in many areas (notably in the vast majority of Cerian dialects of Púríton — e.g. ''élógen'' "lamp" [eːˈroːgen] (Standard Cerian); [eɪ̯ˈruːgen] (NE Coastal Púrítoné)).

Some Cerian dialects from Evandor may have kept closer values to Íscégon, notably for example with /iː/ which became /e/ in most Cerian dialects (and is thus represented in the orthography). So for example Šáritun Cerian speakers pronounce ''refusécé'' "castle" (St. Cer. [refuseːˈkeː]) as [riːpʉseːˈkeː] - a different development from Íscégon ''rípsercé''. Similarly, ''rébé'' "stone" (< Ísc. ''rírbé'') is [riːˈbeː] in Šárituni (St. Cer. [reːˈbeː]), and ''jéče'' "word" (< Ísc. ''giécí'') is [dʒeːˈɕiː] (St. Cer.
