Stress

The first syllable of any root takes primary stress. Secondary stress in words of three or more syllables falls immediately before the last consonant.

Thus, stress falls on the bold and italic vowels in a, ka, kafta, kaftasa, kaftasat.

Consonants

p t   k ʔ
f s z ʃ x ɣ  
       
  ɬ l      
m n   [ŋ]  
w   j    


The phoneme /n/ has the allophone [ŋ] when immediately preceeding to a dorsal phoneme.

Vowels

In strong syllables

i iː    
e eː ə əː o oː
ɛ ɔ
    ɑ ɑː


In weak syllables

i ĩ    
  ə ə̃  
    ɑ ɑ̃




Sound adaptation in borrowed words

Every foreign phoneme (if possible) maps to the identical phoneme in Fínlǣsk.

The following general rules tend to apply to phonemes from various languages without exact duplicates in Fínlǣsk:

Foreign q ɢ ɴ ɟ ɰ ʌ
Fínlǣsk k ɡ ŋɡ* j w kw ɑ


*Inuktitut /ɴ/ becomes /ɡ/ word-initially.

Sandhi / Liaison

Vowels

Umlauting

Base vowel η a á e é ę i í o ó ǫ ø ǿ
i-umlaut υ e é i í e i í i í e e é
u-umlaut ω ø ǿ eu éu ęu i í o ó ǫ o ó


Consonants

Long Clusters

CCC sequences are phonotactically disallowed, though note that this means phonemic sequences (things like tj /tʃ/ are considered single consonants under these rules). The following is a simple summary of the rules, in the order they are applied, along with contrived examples.

  • If an orthographic j occurs anywhere in the CCC sequence, it is moved to the end: mantj /mɑntʃ/ + kun /kun/ > mantkjun /mɑnttʃun/
  • Phonemic "double" or "long" consonants lose their first orthographic component: mantkjun /mɑnttʃun/ > mankjun /mɑntʃun/.
