Vowels
There are 7 vocalic phonemes, which display other forms of distinction.
5 vowels have a short form and a long form. The central phonemes, [ə] and [ɨ] , makes no distinction in length.
No vowel makes any distinction neither in length, but all vocalic phonemes are framed in an elaborate tonal system, with multiple tone distinctions.
