	Any ~~vowels~~ may be creaky {{Ipa\|/a̰/}}, breathy {{Ipa\|/a̤/}}, nasal {{Ipa\|/ã/}}, or pharyngealized {{Ipa\|/aˤ/}}. These voice qualities always spread up to two vowels in a row, and can be combined in the ways represented on the chart. The ⟨'''nq'''⟩ digraph represents a nasal alveolar click, so a nasal-pharyngeal vowel must always be written with ⟨'''qn'''⟩ to avoid confusion. To avoid the use of unnecessary diacritics, nasal-breathy and nasal-creaky vowels must always be written with ⟨'''nh'''⟩ and ⟨'''n’'''⟩, respectively, so that ⟨'''hn'''⟩ and ⟨'''’n'''⟩ can be used to represent a breathy or creaky vowel followed by {{Ipa\|/n/}}. instead of having to write ⟨'''hṅ'''⟩ or ⟨'''’ṅ'''⟩.

	=== Vowels ===		=== Vowels ===
			The total vowels excluding tones is 84, and including tones is 420.

	There are 7 vowel qualities (charted below) and 5 tones: high ⟨'''á'''⟩, mid ⟨'''ā'''⟩, low ⟨'''à'''⟩, falling ⟨'''â'''⟩, rising ⟨'''ǎ'''⟩. There are no polyphthongs and adjacent vowels may have different tones. To reduce the number of tone diacritics in the romanization, level tones may be omitted if a previous vowel's tone ended in that level tone. For example, if a vowel ends in a high or rising tone, all syllables with a high tone immediately following that vowel have their high tone omitted, since it continues from that first high or rising tone vowel. This can occur across words when used in a sentence, but not across clauses.

	~~Tcae'ru has a fluid phonology. New words may be added often with consonants or vowels that were not previously present, which then may proceed to become commonplace in the language or remain rare.~~
