Hopi language

Phonology

Hopi has six vowels, written a, e, i, o, u, and ö. The first five are pronounced approximately as in the English words want, met, pit, off, and put, while the last is roughly the same as in German (in the IPA, they are respectively {{IPA|/ɑ/}}, /e/, /i/, /o/, {{IPA|/ɨ/}}, and {{IPA|/ø/}}). All six vowels occur in long and short forms; long vowels are indicated in writing by doubling them.
