A note on He’la pronunciation:
He’la is a syllabic language. Vowels are short, unless doubled, in which case they are given the long pronunciation. There are no silent Es or long vowels if only one consonant stands between them (which I attempted to show with the spelling of the words). I, for example. Mostly it is pronounced “ih”. If it is seen as “ii”, then it is pronounced “ee”. Apostrophes have been added here and there, to indicate glottal stops or separate vowels where the form of the word means they’d otherwise be doubled. Go’o, for example, as seen below, would be “Go -oh”

A note on Kuchen pronunciation:
Like the High Navlad, Kuchen is syllabic. If a vowel starts a word, it is likely pronounced with the long sound. Aye, instead of Ah, for example. Otherwise, the vowels are short and pronounced individually if they occur in succession.

A note on Navlad pronunciation:
Like He’la, High Navlad is syllabic. Vowels are sounded out individually, even when they are next to each other. U and O are usually given long sounds. E and A are short. If I is seen at the end of the word, it sounds like “ee”, otherwise it is short.
