Editing Muscogee language (section)

====Long vowels====
There are three long vowels in Muscogee ({{IPA|/iː ɑː oː/}}), which are slightly longer than short vowels and are never centralized.

Long vowels are rarely followed by a sonorant in the same syllable. Therefore, when syllables are created (often from suffixation or contractions) in which a long vowel is followed by a sonorant, the vowel is shortened:<ref>Martin, 2011, p. 64–65</ref>
