 ===Vowels===
 Lax An used an seven-vowel system which consisted of the short vowels /a/, /i/, /u/ and long /e/, /ii/, /o/, /uu/
-voiced and voiceless pharyngeal fricatives;
-a glottal stop that is used to distinguish word meaning;
-a three-way contrast between voiced, voiceless, and emphatic consonants which may be realized as velarized, glottalized, pharyngealized, ejective, orimplosive.
-use of semivowels /w/ and /j/ in the role of consonants.
