Since I have been revising so much of Rayanese lately, I’ve been thinking about revising part of the phonology, specifically the vowel inventory.
Previously, these were the vowels:
| Spelling | X-Sampa |
| a | a |
| e | e |
| i | i |
| o | o |
| u | u |
| ä | { (American English cat) |
| ö | 2 |
| ü | y |
| ï | I |
| ë | E |
I want to get rid of the front rounded vowels, [2] and [y]. I will replace them with [O] and [U] but keep spelling the same. I am undecided about a possible schwa [@]. I will also update my phonology page with some more information on diphthongs.
