Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b c d e [k]~[q] and [ɡ]~[ɢ], [l]~[ɫ] only contrast in loan words before back vowels; in native words, [k, ɡ, l] occur before the front vowels (/ɛ/, /i/, /œ/, /ʏ/), while [q, ɢ, ɫ] occur before the back vowels (/ɑ/, /o/, /ʊ/, /ɯ/).
  • ^ [ɡ] becomes [ɣ] word-finally, intervocalically, and after obstruents and taps.
  • ^ a b [h] occurs before front vowels (/ɛ/, /ɪ/, /œ/, /æ/, and /ʏ/) while [x] occurs before back vowels (/ɑ/, /o/, /ʊ/, /ɯ/).
