Notes[edit]

  1. ^abPiedmontese generally lacks contrastiveconsonant length,and double graphemes are normally used for orthographic purposes (e.g.⟨cc⟩,⟨gg⟩,⟨nn⟩,⟨ss⟩). However, when they do not carry such diacritical use, they represent geminated consonants (usually after stressed/ə/).
  2. ^ab[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 Bormidaand highMontferrat).
  3. ^abc/l/between vowels and/r/are both realized with an approximant[ɹ]in certain southern dialects.
  4. ^abA plain⟨n⟩normally represents/n/before a vowel and/ŋ/elsewhere. When it is not the case,⟨nn⟩is used for/n/and⟨n-⟩for/ŋ/to avoid confusion.
  5. ^⟨s⟩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/inValsesia.
  7. ^ab[ʃ]and[ʒ]are, respectively, allophones of/s(j)/and/z(j)/or/dʒ/in north-eastern, high Montferrat, Val Bormida,CanaveseandBiellesedialects.
  8. ^abcd/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 peripheral dialects, it may be realized slightly differently (for example as[ɐ]).
  10. ^abStressed/i/and/y/are often realized with a more laxed realisation,[ɪ]and[ʏ],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[ɔ̝].
  12. ^In Montferrat and Langhe,/y/has the allophones[i]and[ej].
