Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 In the contemporary dialect, the voiced plosives /b/ and /d/ are devoiced to [p] and [t] in the syllable coda. In the traditional dialect however, they tend to stay voiced [b, d].
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 The phoneme /r/ has the following allophones:
• Pre-vocalic /r/ is realized as either a uvular trill [ʀ] (in the contemporary dialect) or an alveolar trill [r] (in the traditional dialect);
• After vowels, the non-prevocalic /r/ is realized as a non-syllabic low vowel [ɐ̯];
• The sequence /ər/ is realized a syllabic low vowel [ɐ].
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 In the contemporary dialect /s/ before a consonant tends to be retracted to [ʃ]. In the traditional dialect however, a preconsonantal /s/ is realized simply as [s].
- ↑ After [u] and diphthongs ending in [u], /v/ is realized as [w].
- ↑ /ə/ occurs only in unstressed syllables.
