| ===Vowels===
| |
| Proto-Ashanic had 6 vowels and register tone:
| |
|
| |
| '''i ü u e o a''' = /i y u e o a/
| |
|
| |
| '''ì ǜ ù è ò à''' = /i y u e o a/ + breathy voice
| |
|
| |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Final consonant clusters were allowed, unlike in [[Windermere]]; they are the source of final voiced stops in Windermere.
| |
|
| |
| Prefinal syllables only allowed the vowels /a i u/.
| |
|
| |
| ===Stress===
| |
| Stress was likely on the final syllable.
