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.

===Vowels===
Ahitereiran has one of the richest vowel phonologies of all Anter languages, having both oral and nasal vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs. A phonemic distinction is made between close-mid vowels /e o/ and the open-mid vowels /ɛ ɔ/, though there is a certain amount of vowel alternation.
