Notes
- ^ The contrast between flapped r and trilled rr is the same as in Spanish. English does not phonemically have either sound.
- The letter ç is sometimes written ch because of 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 the context resolving any ambiguities.
