The only rhotic consonant in the Attian inventory is the alveolar approximant /ɹ/, which is heavily irregular in its pronounciation. The corresponding intervocalic allophone is pronounced differently concerning manner and place as well as secondary articulation - namely as a aspirated dental trill - [r̪ʰ]. | The only rhotic consonant in the Attian inventory is the alveolar approximant /ɹ/, which is heavily irregular in its pronounciation.

This is the vocalic phoneme inventory of the Attian language. All of the following phonemes are phonemic, however, due to severe allophony in most dialects, the inventory is somewhat [[Attian#Vowel allophony|larger]]. The Attian language has 10 basic vowels, whereof four rounded and six unrounded. | This is the vocalic phoneme inventory of the Attian language.
