Notes

  1. ^ a b /h/ varies in realization: [h], [x] and [ç] (the latter also a realization of other phonemes) all occur.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i There appears to be considerable variation among [dz], [dʒ], [ʒ], and [ɟ], as well as among [ts], [tʃ], [ʃ], and [c], as a result of the palatalization of /ɡ/ (or /d/) and /k/ (or /t/), respectively. Other possible realizations, which also occur separately, are [ð], [v], [z] for the voiced phoneme and [θ], [f], [s], [h] for the voiceless one.
  3. r
    ]     is still very common.
  4. ^ Also realized as [æ̃].
  5. ^ Also realized as [ɒ̃].
  6. ^ Stress always falls on one of the final two syllables.
