The existence of a mid back unrounded *ä is not accepted by all scholars, nor is that of a mid front unrounded *ë. e, ë, i, ö, ü, as well as two vowel quantities. Like most of its descendants, Proto-Turkic exhibited vowel harmony, distinguishing vowel qualities a, ä, ï, o, u vs. The velars /k/ and /g/ seem to have had back and front allophones ( and, and ) according to their environments, and the lenis stops /b/, /d/ and /g/ may have tended towards fricatives intervocalically. In addition, the nasals and the liquids did not occur in that position either. There was no fortis-lenis contrast in word-initial position: the initial stops were always *b, *t, *k, the affricate was always *č ( *ç) and the sibilant was always *s. ĭybo suggests that during that period, the Northern branch steadily migrated from Western Mongolia through Southern Xinjiang into the north's Dzungaria and then finally into Kazakhstan's Zhetysu until the 5th century. the second split of the (Eastern) Huns into the northern and southern groups happened in 48 AD. The historical situation that can be seen in the history of the Huns' division onto the Northern and Southern : the first separation and withdrawal of the Northern Huns to the west has occurred, as was stated above, in 56 BC. Dybo puts it, that may be associated with The glottochronological reconstruction based on analysis of isoglosses and Sinicisms points to the timing of the r/z split at around 56 BCE–48 CE. However, an alternate theory holds that Common Turkic is closer to the original state of affairs and reconstructs Proto-Turkic *z, *š. Oghuric is thus sometimes referred to as Lir-Turkic and Common Turkic as Shaz-Turkic. The last two can be reconstructed with the aid of the Oghur languages, which show /r, l/ for *ŕ, *ĺ, while Common Turkic has *z, *š. The sounds denoted by ń, ĺ, ŕ refer to palatalized sounds and have been claimed by Altaicists to be direct inheritances from Proto-Altaic.

There was also an affricate consonant, ç at least one sibilant s and sonorants m, n, ń, ŋ, r, ŕ, l, ĺ with a full series of nasal consonants. The consonant system had a two-way contrast of stop consonants (fortis vs.
