Notes

mudé
  1. 1,0 1,1 Piedmontese generally lacks contrastive consonant length, and double graphemes are normally used for orthographic purposes (e.g. Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr). However, when they do not carry such diacritical use, they represent geminated consonants (usually after stressed /ə/).
  2. 2,0 2,1 [dz] and [ts] may also be allophones of /dʒ/ or /z/ and /tʃ/ or /s/ (not between vowels) in south-eastern dialects (Mondovì, Langhe, Val Bormida and high Montferrat).
  3. 3,0 3,1 3,2 /l/ between vowels and /r/ are both realized with an approximant Template:IPAblink in certain southern dialects.
  4. 4,0 4,1 A plain Template:Angbr normally represents /n/ before a vowel and /ŋ/ elsewhere. When it is not the case, Template:Angbr is used for /n/ and Template:Angbr for /ŋ/ to avoid confusion.
  5. Template:Angbr is always voiced [z] immediately before a voiced or nasal consonant and, when not doubled, between (semi)vowels or word-finally.
  6. Intervocalic allophone of /j/ in Valsesia.
  7. 7,0 7,1 [ʃ] and [ʒ] are, respectively, allophones of /s(j)/ and /z(j)/ or /dʒ/ in north-eastern, high Montferrat, Val Bormida, Canavese and Biellese dialects.
  8. 8,0 8,1 8,2 8,3 /ɛ/, /ɔ/ ([æ] in rural dialects), /ø/ and [ɑ] ([ɒ] in south-east dialects) only occur in stressed position, the latter being the most common allophone of /a/ in stressed position.
  9. In some periferical dialects, it may be realized slightly differently (for example as Template:IPAblink).
  10. Often with a more lax realization Template:IPAblink word-finally and before nasal consonants. Before /ŋ/, /i/ is more open [ɛ] in southern Langhe and a diphthong [ɛj] in high Montferrat.
  11. In some dialects, it has a more close pronunciation as Template:IPAblink.
  12. In Montferrat and Langhe, /y/ has the allophones [i] and [ej].
