	=== Pitch accent ===		=== Pitch accent ===
	When a vowel with pitch accent (like <ai> /ɛ́/) comes before a consonant with pitch accent (like <z> /s/), these two pitch accents are combined (e.g. <aiz> /ɛ̂s/ vs. <ais> /ɛ́s/, <ez> /ɛ̀s/, <es> /ɛ̌s/). /y/ is a toneless vowel and therefore does not have an inherent pitch accent, but like all vowels, it can still have a tonemic pitch distinction if followed by certain consonants. All the other vowels ''can'' be categorized as only five phonemes with a pitch accent distinction and a slightly different realization, ~~like~~ in the ~~following tables~~. The low pitch-high pitch distinction evolved from a short-long distinction in middle Kyawcenni.
