 Orthography

Vowels
Vowels have two forms, stressed and unstressed. Take for example the word, [ruqɨ], the first syllable of a any word in Soviq is always stressed, therefore the following vowel will be unstressed. The unstressed vowels used in speech varies between dialects, though [ɨ] and [ə] are the most prominent. Vowels adjecent to nasal consonants are slightly nasalized as the nasalization is carried over to the vowel. An example would be, [amə̃k].

Palatalization
Palatalization of a consonant occurs after a mid open vowel and within diphtongs. The word, beziku, will thusly be palatalized and will be pronounced [bezʲiku]

The palatalization of consonants was borrowed from the Russian pronunciation as result of intermarriage between the Soviq's and the Russians in 1402.

Aspiration
Aspiration only occurs word initially or on the first consonant of a stressed syllable, and as result we can make the assumption that the previously used word will require aspiration to be pronounced correctly. Therefore, the correct pronunciation would be [bʰezʲiku]. This rule only applies to plosives consonants.
