Notes:
*It is common for the omission of the Voiceless glottal fricative in the southern regions, specially in the Urban Koresan accent.
*The /x/ sound is often transformed into an /h/ in the Northern region of the country.
*The Terras Dialect often merges the /t͡ʃ/, /d͡ʒ/ and /ʃ/ into /ʃ/, unifying three sounds into one, losing some of its fricatives in the process. With few other differentiation happening phonetically.
Ahitereiran has a seven-vowel system, consisting of /a, ɛ, e, i, ɔ, o, u/, as well as 23 consonants (24 if you count /q/). As the direct descendant to the Anternian language it also tends to preserve many of the original words from it, leading to a rather "conservative" vocabulary.
