''-V-'' in this context are all vowels except ⟨i⟩ and ⟨y⟩. In ''-iV-'' sequences, plosives are inserted with preceding {{IPA|/j/}} before vowels, but velars not (''Stamiece'' {{IPA|/stamʲjɛtsɛ/}} "Cernelia").

Phonetics

Consonants

Labial Dental Post-alveolar Alveo-palatal Velar Glottal
Plain Palatal Plain Palatal
Nasal /m/ /mʲ/ /n/ /ɲ/ /ŋ/
Plosive /p b/ /pʲ bʲ/ /t d/ /k ɡ/ /kʲ ɡʲ/ (/ʔ/)
Affricate /t͡s d͡z/ /t͡ʂ d͡ʐ/ /t͡ɕ d͡ʑ/
Fricative /f v/ /fʲ vʲ/ /s z/ /ʂ ʐ/ /ɕ ʑ/ /x/ /xʲ/
Tap /r/
Approximant /l/ /j/ /w/

Cernelian has the phoneme /ʔ/ that arose between vowels to avoid hiatus (jeócmie /jɛˈʔutsmʲjɛ/ "if we share"), but this was actually not phonemic.

Vowels

Front Central Back
Close /i/ /ɨ/ /u/
Mid Plain /ɛ/ /ɔ/
Nasal /ɛ̃/ /ɔ̃/
Open /a/

Extreme northern dialects has phonemic vowel length, denoted by acute accent (ác /aːts/ "boat", íłmo "air, sky"). Standard Cernelian have ⟨ó⟩, but only for etymological reasons.

Cernelian reflects limited vowel harmony between the vowels -o- (back) and -e- (front), otherwise the Proto-Finnic vowel harmonies *o : displaced by Cernelian o : e, and *u : *y become Proto-Cernelian yers and that often deleted in some positions.

The nasal vowels become /ɛn, ɔn/ before plosives and affricates, /ɛm, ɔm/ before labials, /ɛŋ, ɔŋ/ before post-alveolars and velars, /ɛɲ, ɔɲ/ before alveo-palatals, and /ɛ, ɔ/ before l or ł and word-finally in the case of ę.

Stress

Like Polish, Cernelian words are almost always stressed in penultimate (second-from-last) syllable. However, some conservative eastern and southern dialects influenced by Russian and Ukrainian, have unpredictable stress (iję̀ "I grinded" vs. ìję "of the horsehair").

  • Proto-Finnic *áivastàdakjawos vs. standard jasta "to sneeze"
  • Proto-Finnic *áutugasùto "blessed, wealthy" (same in standard patterns)

Note that Proto-Finnic stress is originally non-phonemic, with secondary stress existed in last non-final odd-numbered syllables.

Orthography

The Cernelian orthography is written in Latin, and definitely same as that of Polish.

Vowels
Letter IPA value
⟨A a⟩ /a/
⟨Ą ą⟩ /ɔ̃/ (see above)
⟨E e⟩ /ɛ/
⟨Ę ę⟩ /ɛ̃/ (see above)
⟨I i⟩ /(ʲ)i/ (see below)
⟨O o⟩ /ɔ/
⟨Ó ó⟩ /u/
⟨U u⟩
⟨Y y⟩ /ɨ/
Consonant
Letter IPA value
Elsewhere Before -i- and -iV
Voiced Unvoiced
⟨B b⟩ /b/ /p/ /bʲ/
⟨C c⟩ /dz/ /ts/ /tɕ/
⟨Ć ć⟩ /d͡ʑ/ /t͡ɕ/ always as ⟨c⟩
⟨D d⟩ /d/ /t/ /d/
⟨Dź dź⟩ /d͡ʑ/ /t͡ɕ/ always as ⟨dz⟩
⟨F f⟩ /f/ /v/ /fʲ/
⟨G g⟩ /ɡ/ /k/ /ɡʲ/
⟨H h⟩ /ɣ/ /x/ /xʲ/
⟨J j⟩ /j/
⟨K k⟩ /ɡ/ /k/ /kʲ/
⟨L l⟩ /l/
⟨Ł ł⟩ /w/
⟨M m⟩ /m/ /mʲ/
⟨N n⟩ /n/ /ɲ/
⟨Ń ń⟩ /ɲ/ Always as ⟨n⟩
⟨P p⟩ /b/ /p/ /pʲ/
⟨R r⟩ /r/
⟨Rz rz⟩ /ʐ/
⟨S s⟩ /z/ /s/ /ɕ/
⟨Ś ś⟩ /ʑ/ /ɕ/ Always as ⟨s⟩
⟨T t⟩ /d/ /t/
⟨W w⟩ /v/ /f/ /vʲ/
⟨Z z⟩ /z/ /s/ /ʑ/
⟨Ź ź⟩ /ʑ/ /ɕ/ Always as ⟨z⟩

-V- in this context are all vowels except ⟨i⟩ and ⟨y⟩. In -iV- sequences, plosives are inserted with preceding /j/ before vowels, but velars not (Stamiece /stamʲjɛtsɛ/ "Cernelia").
