D'Ivoire also re-analysed and standardised the phonemic inventory of vowels in the language.
D'Ivoire also re-analysed and standardised the phonemic inventory of vowels in the language. He divided the five primary vowels into two categories, ''nasal'' and ''oral'', these were in divided by length, granting ''short'', ''long'' and ''extra long'' vowels. D'Ivoire did make clear that the vowels were not phonetically realised as long and extra long in the modern language, but rather as diphthongised and diphthongised with a long non-glide element, respectively.

Émile's model did coincide with the traditional orthography, but he disputed the realisation of the vowels.
