Catalan language
Catalan has inherited the typical vowel system of Vulgar Latin, with seven stressed phonemes: /a e e i o o u/, a common feature in Western Romance, except Spanish. Balearic has also instances of stressed /@/. Dialects differ in the different degrees of vowel reduction, and the incidence of the pair /e e/.
