Notes[eedit | eedit soorce]
- ↑ If consonants are doobled efter a vouel, they are geminatit: aw consonants mey be geminatit except for /z/. In IPA, gemination is representit bi dooblin the consonant (fatto /ˈfatto/, mezzo /ˈmɛddzo/) or bi uisin the lenth merker ⟨ː⟩. Thare is an aa the sandhi o syntactic gemination: va via /ˌva vˈviːa/).
- ↑ a b ⟨z⟩ represents baith /ts/ an /dz/. The airticle on Italian orthografie explains hou thay are uised.
- ↑ a b c d e /dz/, /ts/, /ʎ/, /ɲ/ an /ʃ/ are alweys geminatit efter a vouel.
- ↑ a b c d e f g In Tuscany [h], [ɸ], [θ] an [ʒ] are the common allophones o vouel-follaein single /k/, /p/, /t/ an /dʒ/.
- ↑ a b c The nasals alweys assimilate thair place o airticulation tae that o the follaein consonant. Thus, the n in /nɡ/ ~ /nk/ is a velar [ŋ], an the ane in /nf/ ~ /nv/ is the labiodental [ɱ], but for simplicity, ⟨m⟩ is uised here. A nasal afore /p/, /b/ an /m/ is alweys the labial [m].
- ↑ /h/ is uisually dropped.
- ↑ In Spaingie loanwirds, /x/ is uisually pronoonced as [h], [k] or dropped. In German, Arabic an Roushie anes, it is uisually pronoonced [k].
- ↑ Italian contrasts seiven monophthongs in stressed syllables. Open-mid vouels /ɛ, ɔ/ can appear anerly if the syllable is stressed (coperto /koˈpɛrto/, quota /ˈkwɔːta/), close-mid vouels /e, o/ are foond ensewhaur (Boccaccio /bokˈkattʃo/, amore /aˈmoːre/). Open an close vouels /a i u/ are unchynged in unstressed syllables, but wird-final unstressed /i/ mey acome approximant [j] afore vouels, which is kent as synalepha (pari età /ˌparj eˈta/).
- ↑ Open-mid [œ] or close-mid [ø] if it is stressed but usually [ø] if it is unstressed. May be replaced by [ɛ] (stressed) or [e] (stressed or unstressed).
- ↑ /y/ is often pronounced as [u] or [ju].
- ↑ Syne Italian haes na distinction atween hivier or lichter vouels, a defined seucontar stress, even in lang wirds, is extremely rare.
- ↑ Stressed vouels are lang in non-final open syllables: fato [ˈfaːto] ~ fatto [ˈfatto].
