Syzkyn's phonological inventory is strongly reminiscent of Kartvelian languages, particularly Mingrelian. | |||

# Allophone of /n/ before velars | |||
# Allophone of /n/ before uvulars | |||
# [qχʰ] and [ɢʁ] are realizations of /χ/ and /ʁ/ after nasals | |||
# The fricative [v] and approximant [ʋ] are in free variation | |||
## [ʋ] is the most prevalent realization after a vowel | |||
## /v/ is realized as [ʷ] after a consonant | |||

# /ə/ has several allophones: | |||
## [ɘ] or [ɨ] when stressed and not following a labialized or palatalized consonant | |||
## [ɪ] after a palatalized velar (in dialects that palatalize the velar stops) or /j/ | |||
## [ʊ] after a labialized consonant | |||
# Typically reduced to [ɐ] when unstressed | |||
=== Prosody === | |||
In Syzkyn, stress can be located on any syllable in a word. Typically, in words of Norse origin, primary stress is on the first syllable, often occurring on other syllables in words of non-Norse origin. However, stress remains on the same syllable in all inflected forms. | |||
