Usually the first syllable of a word that starts with a vowel is accented, or the second syllable of a word that starts with a consonant.
Most consonant pronunciation is close enough to English that an English-speaker can get by. There are a few unusual things in Darynese.
| Consonant | Sound | Example |
| B | Voiced Bilabial Plosive | English slob |
| P | Voiceless Bilabial Plosive | English tap |
| D | Voiced Alveolar Plosive | English bad |
| T | Voiceless Alveolar Plosive | English cat |
| K | Voiceless Velar Plosive | English king |
| tr | Joined T and R sound | |
| M | Voiced Bilabial Nasal | English my |
| N | Voiced Alveolar Nasal | English need |
| ñ | Voiced Palatial Nasal | Spanish sueño |
| S | Voiced Alveolar Fricative | English sang |
| Z | Voiceless Alveolar Fricative | English zoo |
| R | Voiced Alveolar Approximant | English bar |
| L | Voiced Alveolar Lateral Approximant | English love |
| y | Voiced Palatial Lateral Approximant | Spanish llave |
The vowels and dipthongs are pretty much as in Spanish, with 'y' representing a very short /i/. The consonants surrounding the vowel e is usually aspirated, while ae in most dialects is pronounced as a long /e/.
In spoken homeworld-Darynese, the singular first and second pronouns (and occasionally others) are dropped when they can be marked by gestures. This comes across in transcribed versions of spoken word. Pronouns and genders tend to be the most often changed features in Darynese dialects, besides pronunciation.

Ilubolryn Darynese and Yizalryn Darynese have dropped many of the genders of the language. Ilubolryn reduced genders to two -- people (-a) and things (-e). Speakers also tend to drop shorter vowels, such as /y/ and /e/ when speaking, especially at the ends of words.
Yizalryn Darynese has four genders -- masculine (-ao), feminine (-ai), things (including animals and plants) (-e), and spirits (-ae), and drops shorter vowels. The language has also undergone substantial pronunciation shift, to the point where other speakers often have a difficult time understanding them.
Most Darynese can understand standard homeworld-Darynese.
