Af Mexee has five vowel articulations that all contrast frontness/backness and vowel length. There is little change in vowel quality when the vowel is lengthened.


aa ee ii oo uu
There are five diphthongs that also occur in front and back, long and short versions, except for  /ɞi/, which does not occur in the back series.

<-- Note: the vowel qualities are the same as standard Somali. I just copied this from Wikipedia, so it might not be 100% accurate (I'll have to go through it later). -->
