Notes

  1. ^ The palatal stops /c/ and /ɟ/ are similar to the English allophones of /k/ and /ɡ/ before front vowels.
  2. The letter ç is sometimes written ch due to technical limitations because of its use in English sound and its analogy to the other digraphs xh, sh, and zh. Usually it is written simply c or more rarely q with context resolving any ambiguities.
  3. The palatal nasal /ɲ/ corresponds to the Spanish ñ and the French and Italian gn. It is pronounced as one sound, not a nasal plus a glide.
  4. The ll sound is a velarised lateral, close to English dark L.
  5. ^ The contrast between flapped r and trilled rr is the same as in Spanish. English does not have either of the two sounds phonemically.
