The ancient Anternian system of consonants is still seen in the phonology of modern day Ahitereiran with the usage of /m/, /n/, /b/, /p/, /d/, /t/, /k/, /f/, /z/,/l/ ,/s/ and /r/, but also sees the various influences from the surrounding regions, such as /x/ from the Kentronik regions, the /ɲ/ from the native Kloresans and the /h/ and /ɾ/ from the Empherian peoples.With the other sounds developing naturally the language.

*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.

===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.
