The Judeo-Anbirese vowel system is identical to Italian or Tiberian Hebrew (in stressed syllables).

  • אי i (= chiriq) /i/
  • איי e (= tzere) /e/
  • אֶ ae (= segol) /E/ (maelŏx 'king')
  • אַ a (= patach) /a/
  • א ŏ (= qamatz) /O/
  • אוֹ o (= cholam) /o/
  • אוּ u (= shuruq) /u/

Hebrew reading

Judeo-Anbirese is among the more conservative Hebrew reading traditions in Crackfic Irta/Tricin. It distinguishes all 7 stressed vowels of Tiberian Hebrew and retains all 6 begadkefat consonants, and dageshed nun, lamed and resh are retained as distinct. The emphatics tet and kuf merge with nonemphatic tav and kaf as in our Ashkenazi Hebrew.

/u o O a E e i (shva na) (chataf patach) (chataf segol) (chataf qamatz)/ u o ŏ a e ė i ŏ a e ŏ, but some dialects use a instead of ŏ for shva na

/ʔ b v g ɣ d ð h w z ħ tˁ j k x l m n s ʕ p f sˁ q r ʃ t θ/ = [ʔ b v g ɣ d ð h w dʒ h t= j k= x l/ʎ m n/n̪ˠ s ŋ p= f tʃ= k= ɾ/rˠ ʃ t= θ]
