< | /p/ occurs only in onset position, alone or as the first element in a cluster. <br> | ||
Onset clusters are /pɹ/ or /dɹ/. <br> | |||
Coda clusters are /l/ or /ɹ/ + any non-approximant consonant except /p/, including [lt] and [ɹt] word-finally. <br> | |||
Besides the [ʎ] merger, all homorganic clusters merge (consonants and vowels). <br> | |||
/ɪi/ and /iɪ/ merge to [i]. | |||

Dyrel is mostly phonemic. Most graphemes are the equivalent of IPA. Non-IPA equivalents are listed here: | |||
d = [t] word finally <br> | |||
r = /ɹ/ <br> | |||
i = [j] (allophone; normally /i/) <br> | |||
y = /ɪ/ <br> | |||
o = /ɵ/ <br> | |||
ll, lli, lly = [ʎ] | |||
ï = [ɪ̯] (in diphthongs) | |||
In Dyrel, in addition to case markers, case is indicated by placing an acute accent (´) over the first letter of the case marker. | |||
Some orthographic rules apply only to High Dyrel. These are as follows: | |||
Orthographic l (/l/) is doubled before a vowel. This triggers the allophonic variant [ʎ]. | |||
Diphthongization is indicated by placing a diaresis over the second element in the diphthong, which is always /i/ (ï). | |||
