Vowels

	front	central	back
close	i	/ʉ/ ⟨y⟩	/ɯ/* ⟨u⟩ /u/*
mid	e	ə	o /ɤ/*
open		a	/ʌ/*

*appears as a result of umlauting, may either be romanized as the phoneme without umlaut with "o" after it; /ɤ/ ⟨eo⟩, or as the phoneme without the sound change, but with the umlauting diacritic; /ɤ/ ⟨ë⟩. The only exception is /ɯ/ which is always romanized as ⟨u⟩ for consistency, even if it occurs as a result of umlauting.

Any vowel except ə can be nasalized, which is romanized with a tilde. In digraphs, the first letter gets the tilde. If spelled with the umlaut diacritic, the tilde should go over the umlaut.

Diphthongs

Any vowel except schwa may appear in a diphthong with /ʊ/. That's romanized as a ⟨Vu⟩ digraph, where V is the romanization of the first vowel.
