===Vowels=== | |||
Vowels in Koṭärt are more complicated than consonants. It differentiates long and short monophthongs, with long vowels being phonologically different vowels than short ones. This is a because of sound changes that resulted in a vowel shift. There are also many diphthongs. The vowels operate within umlaut and ablaut systems, see [[Koṭärt#Phonetics|Phonetics]] part for explanation. | |||
