Depending on [[w:_Sociolinguistics|sociolinguistic]] factors, spoken Ehomanian may be partly mutually intelligible with other Ehomanic languages such as [[Artiutan]], [[Furtaian]], [[Kunstetian]], amongst other minor Ehomanic languages. Linguists often categorize the Ehomanic languages into [[Western Ehomanic languages|Western]], [[Central Ehomanic languages|Central]], and [[Eastern Ehomanic languages|Eastern]] branches, with Ehomanian forming the core of the Central Ehomanic languages. It is also considered the reference point for comparative [[Proto-Ehomanic]] reconstruction, of which Ehomanian is theorised to have descended from.

Standard Ehomanian has eight vowels and 24 consonants. In the Erepunsh dialect, vowels are nasalized when preceding a nasal consonant, and the mid-central vowel ë is lost at the end of words. The word stress is mainly on the final syllable.
