There are no phonemic long vowels. Instances of two identical vowels appearing together are normally simplified to a short vowel. In careful speech, though, both vowels are pronounced. Nasality isn’t phonemic either, but vowels next to nasals, especially in coda position, tend to be nasalized. | |||

====Alphabet==== | |||
Matzerieu is written with two different scripts: a modified version of the Latin aphabet and a partially featural native alphabet. The alphabet is largely phonemic, that is, each letter corresponds to one phoneme and vice versa. There are no digraphs or silent letters. Out of the basic Latin alphabet, the only letters that aren’t used are ''x'' and ''y''. | |||
