Pre-Matlang Vowels
These are the basic sound correspondences:
Gr La PM
e e *e
a a *a
o o *o
e *eə
a a *aə
o *oə
ē ē *ē
ā ā *ā
ō ō *ō
i i *i
ī ī *ī
ī īa *ei
ū oe *oi
ai ae *ai
āi ī *āi
āi ō *ōi
u u *u
ū ū *ū
eu ū *eu
ou ū *ou
au au *au
So this is our system:
Monophthongs: /a e i o u a: e: i: o: u:/
-i Diphthongs: /ei ai oi a:i o:i/
-u Diphthongs: /eu ou au/
-ə Diphthongs: /eə aə oə/
