In addition to these vowel qualities, Galatian has a length distinction and a historical aspiration distinction (now only retained epenthetically or in conservative dialects, but still consistently written in the orthography). | In addition to these vowel qualities, Galatian has a length distinction and a historical aspiration distinction (now only retained epenthetically or in conservative dialects, but still consistently written in the orthography). In the Greek orthography this is marked using the rough or smooth breathing diacritic on a vowel. In the Arabic, it is marked using the letter ھ, while in Georgian it is marked using the letter ჰ. (Note: Handwritten Arabic Galatian uses the kasrah, not the kasratan, for short i. The kasratan is used electronically because of how Unicode handles Arabic diacritics.) | ||

Valmoric has limited vowel harmony for bound morphemes: Morphemes subject to harmony which contain an ι, ε, or η will change this to an υ, ο, or ω respectively if the adjacent syllable contains an υ, ου, ο, or ω. Such harmonised vowels are marked with the circumflex: υ̂, ô, ω̂. | Valmoric has limited vowel harmony for bound morphemes: Morphemes subject to harmony which contain an ι, ε, or η will change this to an υ, ο, or ω respectively if the adjacent syllable contains an υ, ου, ο, or ω.
