===Vowel changes===

Many of the phonemic vowel changes in Englecymrǣc are directly from Welsh, but a few formed on their own. Like Welsh, many of the changes that occurred are a result of a vowel being displaced from being the nucleus of the final syllable when a suffix is attached. This type of mutation is sometimes called ''centring''. When a vowel was displaced from the final syllable, it would change to a more central vowel sound, thus the front /i/ > central /ɨ/ or the back /u/ > central-back /ʊ/.

Another common feature of Germanic and Brittonic languages alike was the ''i-mutation''.

Another common feature of Germanic and Brittonic languages alike was the ''i-mutation''. This change occurs in words primarily that change plurality without the addition of a suffix. This change can occur regardless of stress.
