====Romanisation====

The Ilda romanisation is mostly directly phonetic, although some digraphs, like ⟨sw⟩ and ⟨zw⟩ are pronounced <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiceless post-alveolar fricative|ʃ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiced post-alveolar fricative|ʒ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> respectively. Additionally, the symbol ⟨γ⟩ is pronounced <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Voiced velar fricative|ɣ]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, and the digraphs ⟨pt⟩ and ⟨bd⟩ are pronounced [ʔt] and [ʔd].

/l̪/ and /ɱ/ are allophones of /l/ and /m/ respectively, before labiodental consonants, e.g. in {{cont|ā'''l'''va|y}} [ˈaːl̪va] "nut" or {{cont|agī'''m'''fi|y}} [aˈɡiːɱfi] "granddaughter".

Voiceless plosives apart from /q/ are aspirated when stressed, as in ''dinuɣ'' [[Help:IPA|[dinuɣ]]] and ''iswodinuɣ'' [[Help:IPA|[iʃoˈdʰinuɣ]]].

====Stress====

In Ilda, stress falls oxytonically, or on the last syllable. However, if a ~~word~~ contains ~~the graph ⟨ā⟩~~, stress falls on ~~the~~ syllable ~~that contains the ⟨ā⟩~~.

In Ilda, stress falls oxytonically, or on the last syllable. However, if a syllable contains a long vowel, stress falls on that syllable regardless of its position.
