Notes: | |||
1. /dz/ has a free variant [z], with which it is interchangeable. Word initially, /dz/ is more common. | |||
2. /c c' ɟ/ are being evolved into [tʃ tʃ' dʒ], with additional (more conservative) allophones as palatal fricatives. However, their original values are preserved after /ɲ/. | |||
3. Standard /ʃ/ is traditionally pronounced [ç], but it is now considered obsolete, mostly found in the elderly and in rural areas. | |||
4. /ɬ/ is pronounced [θ] in some dialects. | |||
5. /ts'/ and /c'/ can be realized as [s'] and [ç'~ʃ'] after another consonant. | |||
6. /β/ is realized as an on-glide [w] after a consonant (including itself). | |||
7. /p, t, k, ts, c, m, n, ɲ, l, ɾ, s, ʃ, ɬ, h, j/ are the only consonants permitted to occur in coda position. When voiceless ones precede voiced onsets, they become voiced. If the two consonants have the same place of articulation, they merge into a geminated one, e.g. /pp'/ [p'ː]; /pb/ [bː] | |||
8. /h/ is realized as [x] when stressed, and as [ʔ] in coda position. | |||
9. The cluster /tl/ and /tɬ/ are both realized as the affricate [tɬ͡] | |||
