Notes

  1. ^ a b Rarely used, for example tšīša, dzīṛa and dzāyir.[1]
  2. ^ a b /p/ and /v/ are found in borrowed words and they are usually replaced by /b/, like in ḅāḅūr and ḅāla. However, they are preserved in some words, like pīsīn and talvza.[2]
  3. ^ Usually dropped but tends to occur in the learned register, in loans from standard Arabic, often in maṣdar (verbal noun) forms at the onset of the word, but also in other words like /jɪsʔɪl/ "he asks", though many speakers substitute /ʔ/ for /h/ in the latter word.[3][4]
  4. ^ Closer to cat in most varieties of British and Irish English, and to father in most varieties of North American, Australian and New Zealand English
