The Balochi vowel system has at least eight vowels: five long vowels and three short vowels.[2] The long vowels are /aː/, /eː/, /iː/, /oː/, and/uː/. The short vowels are /a/, /i/ and /u/. The short vowels have more centralized phonetic qualities than the long vowels.
Southern Balochi (at least as spoken in Karachi) also has nasalized vowels, most importantly /ẽː/ and /ãː/.
