^ a b c d In the contemporary dialect, the voiced plosives /b/ and /d/ are devoiced to [p ] and [t ] in the syllable coda . In the traditional dialect however, they tend to stay voiced [b , d ] .
^ a b c d The phoneme /r/ has the following allophones:
• Pre-vocalic /r/ is realized as either a uvular trill [ʀ ] (in the contemporary dialect) or an alveolar trill [r ] (in the traditional dialect);
• After vowels, the non-prevocalic /r/ is realized as a non-syllabic low vowel [ɐ̯] ;
• The sequence /ər/ is realized a syllabic low vowel [ɐ ] .
^ a b In the contemporary dialect /s/ before a consonant tends to be retracted to [ʃ ] . In the traditional dialect however, a preconsonantal /s/ is realized simply as [s ] .
^ After [u] and diphthongs ending in [u] , /v/ is realized as [w ] .
^ /ə/ occurs only in unstressed syllables.
