Lineo 214:
French phonemicized a third vowel system around AD 1300 as a result of the sound change /VsC/ > /VhC/ > /VːC (where ''V'' is any vowel and ''C'' any consonant). This vowel length was eventually lost by around AD 1700, but the former long vowels are still marked with a circumflex. A fourth vowel length system, still non-phonemic, has now arisen: All nasal vowels as well as the oral vowels /ɑ o ø (which mostly derive from former long vowels) are pronounced long in all stressed [[closed syllable]]s, and all vowels are pronounced long in syllables closed by the voiced fricatives /v z ʒ ʁ vʁ. This system in turn has been phonemicized in some non-standard dialects (e.g. [[Haitian Creole]]), as a result of the loss of final /ʁ.
