*long vowels for nasal vowels

*In lambdic accents: nasal vowel mergers so that the total number of nasal vowels is less than 10. The first victims tend to be the back nasal vowels /ũ õ ɔ̃/ (which often merge into two vowels) and the front rounded nasal vowels /ỹ ø̃ œ̃/ (which often merge into their unrounded counterparts /ĩ ẽ ɛ̃/).

*Some dialects retain the conservative pronounciation of ''y'' as [ɨ] in some environments. Backed realizations of stressed ''y'', such as [ʌ], [ɤ] or [ʊ], is a special feature of some accents.

*Some dialects such as older Eetøøm retain the conservative pronounciation of ''y'' as [ɨ] in some environments. Backed realizations of stressed ''y'', such as [ʌ], [ɤ] or [ʊ], is a special feature of some accents.

*Pronouncing ''n'' before V as [l]

*''hn hŋ'' being realized as [ʔn ʔŋ] when not word-initial and not before a stressed vowel

*Lambdic vowels: /ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ ã ɔ̃/ = [iɤ yɤ uɤ ɛjɤ œyɤ ɔwɤ æɤ aɤ oɤ]~[yː ʉ̠ː uː ɛu ɞː ɔu ɔu œː ɑː oː]

*Diphthongs: /ai ui au ɛu iu ɛɪ œy ɔu iə yə uə/ = [aə ui au ɛu iu ɛɪ œy ɔu iə yə uə]

*Unstressed /ə̃/ is traditionally pronounced [ɤ], however in Modern ES it merges with /ɔ/.

*Unstressed /ə̃/ is traditionally pronounced [ɤ], however in Modern Eetøøm it merges with /ɔ/.

*In Advanced Eetøøm ~~Sgewlan~~, /iə yə uə/ are pronounced [iː yː uː] (in line with Contemporary Alcvean).

*In Conservative Eetøøm, ''y'' in unstressed syllables is pronounced [ɨ].

*In Advanced Eetøøm, /iə yə uə/ are pronounced [iː yː uː] (in line with Contemporary Alcvean).

*Linking L after [ɔ yː ʉ̠ː uː ɛu ɞː ɔu œː ɑː oː] (analogous to linking R in RP)

**For example, ''gyl jew in'' 'out of the blue' is often pronounced /ko jɛu‿ʟ in/.
