* /{{IPA link|ɛ}}/ only occurs as a word-final variant of /{{IPA link|æ}}/.
*/{{IPA link|i}}/ is always realized in word-final position as [{{IPA link|ɪ}}].
* /{{IPA link|ɯ}}/ can be realized as [{{IPA link|ɨ}}] in non-initial positions.
* /{{IPA link|u}}/ mainly occurs as a centralized allophone [{{IPA link|ʉ}}] when preceding palatal consonants.
* Vowel /{{IPA link|ɑ}}/ is in free variation with its rounded equivalent /{{IPA link|ɒ}}/, when occurring in front syllables.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dolatkhah|first=Sohrab|title=Kashkai : langue turcique d'Iran|publisher=Independently Published|year=2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Qashqai Turkic: A Comprehensive Corpus-based Grammar|last=Dolatkhah|first=Sohrab|publisher=Munich: LINCOM|year=2019}}</ref>
