Most vowels distinguish two degrees of length: long and short, and some vowels also show [[extra-short]] duration (voicelessness).

* {{lang|ood|ṣe꞉l}} {{IPA|/ʂɨːɭ/}} "[[Seri people|Seri]]"
* {{lang|ood|ṣel}} {{IPA|/ʂɨɭ/}} "permission"
* {{lang|ood|ʼa꞉pi}} {{IPA|/ʔaːpi/}} "you"
* {{lang|ood|da꞉pĭ}} {{IPA|/daːpɪ̥/}} "I don't know", "who knows?"

Papago {{IPA|/ɨ/}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ʌ]}} in Pima.

Additionally, in common with many northern Uto-Aztecan languages, vowels and nasals at end of words are [[devoiced]]. Also, a short [[schwa]] sound, either voiced or unvoiced depending on position, is often interpolated between consonants and at the ends of words.
