The phonology of Hirathic is relatively simple with 15 distinctive consonants and Ƒ vowels. This table represents the pronunciation of the widespread dialect spoken in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century BCE. It is a direct continuation of phonemes found in Proto-Indo-European as modified by regular sound changes and as such have cognates in many European languages like English, Greek, or Lithuanian.

This table represents the pronunciation of the widespread dialect spoken in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century BCE.

The common dialect of Hirathic distinguishes three heights (a-e-i), front and back (e-o, y-u), roundedness (i-y), and length (e - e:) in its vowel system. This is very similar to other older Indo-European languages. Cognates of the vowels are found in many European languages, even in English, e.g., ''y'''o'''ke'' and Hirathic ''th'''u'''gon'', both reflecting common Proto-Indo-European ''*y'''u'''góm''
