Vowels

Front Central Back
short long short long short long
Close i /i/ í /iː/ u /u/ ú /uː/
Mid e /e/ é /eː/ o /o/ ó /oː/
Open a /a/ á /aː/

Diphthongs: Diphthongs without the fada (acute accent) are short, diphthongs with the fada are long. Otherwise they're mostly read as written.

a in an unstressed syllable becomes e if the previous vowel ends in an /i/.
