===Vowel length=== | |||
Standard Izhkut pitch accent was replaced in Colonial Izhkut with a vowel length system; contour I replaced by a long vowel, contour II remaining unchanged. In the case of a diphthong, the second, unstressed vowel is deleted and only the initial vowel is lengthened, such as with ''ouggu'' "wail (n.)", pronounced [[Help:IPA|[ôʊ̯gu]]] in Standard Izhkut but [[Help:IPA|[ɔːgu]]] in General Colonial; however both pronunciations remain heterophonic with ''ougu'' "wheat"(<small>Standard Izhkut:</small> [[Help:IPA|[oˈgu]]]; <small>Colonial:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ɔˈgu]]]). | |||
