| == Phonology ==
| |
| | |
| Dwekoennish has a relatively Indo-Europeanesque inventory of consonants and vowels. Of special note are the abundance of coronal fricatives, affricates, and the presence of two fully fronted, fully low vowels.

| |
| | |
| T t - /t/
| |
| | |
| Þ þ - /θ/
| |
| | |
| U u - /ʉ/
| |
| | |
| V v - /v/
| |
| | |
| Y y - /ɪ/
| |
| | |
| Z z - /z/
| |
| | |
| Ž ž - /ʒ/
| |
| | |
| Ö ö - /œ, øː/
| |
| | |
| Ő ő - /ɶ, ɶː/
| |
| | |
| Non-alphabetic letters:
| |
| | |
| Á á - /aː/
| |
| É é - /eː/
| |
| Í í - /iː/
| |
| Ó ó - /oː/
| |
| Ú ú - /uː/
| |
| È è - /ə, ɜː/
| |
| | |
| | |
| The vowels marked with acutes represent the long variants of the respective short vowels. The letter È represents a mid-open central unrounded vowel when long and is reduced to a schwa when short. (It is never marked for length.)
| |
| | |
| The letters Õ, Ö, and Ő are also not marked for length. Õ and Ő typically do not change in phonemic value when lengthened, but Ö rises from a mid-open to a mid-close vowel. Y has no long variant.
