3 vowels have a '''short''' form and a '''long''' form: [i] - [iː], [u] - [uː], and [œ] - [œː]. However, length is not deemed by the speakers as a distinctive feature of the same phoneme. These pairs are regarded as four fully independent phonemes, thus bringing the amount of distinguished vowels to 12.
The vowels [aː] and [oː] are only long. The imbalance between the amount of front and back vowels is easily noticeable.
