Notes
[edit]- ^ a b Sounds listed on the right column occur in certain peripheral dialects.
- ^ a b c d e The latter realizations are most common in peripheric areas, such as Ventimiglia or southern Piedmont. In particular, [ʃ] and [ʒ] are occurrences of /s/ and /z/ before consonants In the Tabarchino dialect of Carloforte.
- ^ a b Like most other Northern Italian languages, Ligurian nasals never assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, unlike in Standard Italian. [ŋ] is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters, and it may contrast with /n/ only before vowels (e.g. pénn-a /ˈpeŋa/ 'sorrow' vs pénna /ˈpena/ 'quill').
- ^ a b All vowels can occur in both stressed or unstressed positions except short /ɛ/, which is always stressed.
- ^ a b These dialects include modern Received Pronunciation and most forms of English English (with some exceptions such as Yorkshire), Australian, New Zealand, White South African, Scottish, Ulster, Southern American, Midland American, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Western Pennsylvania and California English. Other dialects of English, such as Northern American, New York City, New England, African American Vernacular, Welsh and Republic of Ireland English, have no close equiavalent vowel.
- ^ Consonant and semivowel lengthening optionally occurs in paroxytones between a stressed short vowel and a vowel, and is represented in IPA by either doubling the consonant or through the ⟨ː⟩ marker (e.g. euggio [ˈøddʒu]/[ˈødːʒu]).
