Consonants
Notes
 * [g] is an allophone of [χ], [g] is used more often in the southern dialects. But it is still considered standard as it is also used in the dialect of the Capital city Hégestedde.
 * [R] is an allophone of [r], [R] is used more often in eastern dialects. [R] is not standardised because it is not used in any Miric dialect. The eastern dialects are developed from Hängisk.
 * [z] is an allophone of [z], [z] is used in the Capital-Dialect.

Vowels
As you can see, most of the vowel-sounds are frontal vowels, this is because of the Old-Miric Vowel shift which shifted all the vowels to the front with the exception of a few sounds. This Old-Miric sound shift separated the high-dialects from the low-dialects.

Examples:
 * Husse [hu:sə] (Burgian Dialect (LOW)) -> Hysse [hy:sə] (Standardised Miric (HIGH))

Grammar
High-Miric doesn't have that hard grammar at all, if you are familiar with German you'll think that it is rather easy!
