====Notes====
* Nasal and sibilant consonants lose their contrast before stop consonants. However, they still contrast in all other positions
* Morpheme-final voiceless plosives all lose their contrast, becoming [{{ipa|ʔ}}]. However, if the following morpheme starts with a vowel, the original sound returns.
* The voiced alveolar fricatives /{{ipa|z ð}}/ are marginally phonemic, with only loanwords having them consistently. The former is also usually affricated, to [{{ipa|d͡z}}].
* The voiced alveolar lateral affricate /{{ipa|d͡ɮ}}/ is often backed, sounding like [{{ipa|dɫ}}].

====Notes====
* Centering vowels flatten before approximants and voiced laterals: {{ipa|/iə̯d͡ɮ aə̯ʎ uə̯j/ [ɪːdɮ əːʎ ʌːj]}}.

==Orthography==
High Karanesa may be either written using the Latin alphabet or one of the two native scripts: the calligraphic [[castedan]], or the blockletter [[razhidan]].

===Romanization===
====Consonants====
Consonant clusters that end in y drop the y before c or j, and change it to an i at the end of a word.

===Vowels===
Final i and u are not pronounced at the end of a morpheme. However, the former indicates that the following consonant is palatalized, and both vowels reappear when an affix is applied to the word (but not in compound words, where they are instead dropped entirely).
