====Vowels====
! rowspan=2|{{wp|Belarusian language|Belovaryan}}
* /ə/ (an allophone of /ɑ/ in Chechen) becomes an independent phoneme in Aranese, typically found word-finally.
! colspan=3|{{wp|Russian language|Severian}}
* Open /e/ and /o/ in Chechen is split into /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ in Aranese.
! rowspan=2|{{wp|Ukrainian language|Zelenovaryan}}
* /ɥø/ and /yø/ in Chechen are collapsed into /œ/ and /œː/ in Aranese
! rowspan=2|Examples
* Nasalization, while present in Chechen (particularly for the {{wp|genitive}}, {{wp|infinitive}}, and for some speakers, the {{wp|nominative}} case of adjectives) is even more pronounced as a result of influence from Arpitan and French, with vowels now nasalized word-finally and before <n> and another consonant.
 
====Consonants====
* /ɲ/ and /ʎ/ were gradually introduced (generally from /n/ and /l/ before /i/ or /j/) due to the influence of neighboring languages (ie Romansh, Occitan)
* /r/ is /ʁ/ due to influence from French (see {{wp|guttural r}})
