Daur phonology

Daur phonology is peculiar in that some of its dialects have developed a set of labialized consonants (e.g. 'flea' vs.  'moon'), while it shares palatalized consonants  with most Mongolian dialects that have not been developed in the other Mongolic languages. It also has, which is, however, limited to loan words. Word-final short vowels were lost and historically short vowels in non-initial syllables have lost phoneme status. Daur is the only Mongolic language to share this development with Mongolian (i.e. Mongolian proper, Oirat, Buryat). Due to the merger of and  with  and, vowel harmony was lost.
