## Pronunication

Formal Bujanski is influenced by Sarmelonid pronunciation.

* final r except after -a or ô [ɔ] might sound like [-rɯ]
* a, when stressed and lengthened, may sound like [ä~ɒ]
* o might sound like [u] before -n, especially at the ends of words
* v before j sounds more like [w]
* y is pronounced as [y], not [ɯ]
* au is sometimes pronounced as [äɰ] or [ɒɰ]
* no j-vowel can be next to another j-vowel. So "njaja" becomes "naja" or "næja".
* av - au
* ev - æu
* ov - ôu; also ôi, oi, or rarely ojau
