Ketaserang has 5 lax and 5 tense vowels. Lax vowels appear in unstressed and/or closed syllables, while tense vowels always appear in stressed and typically open syllables. However, tense vowels can still appear in closed syllables if stressed; examples include kuukti [ˈkuːk.t͡ʃɪ] "spiked wheel" or maseeh [mɐˈsɛːh] "religious".
