Notes

edit
  1. ^ Walloon consonants are devoiced word-finally, i.e. /d/ changes to [t], /dʒ/to[tʃ], /z/to[s], and so on. This is not shown in the spelling.
  • ^ a b c d The groups ⟨sch⟩, ⟨jh⟩ and ⟨xh⟩ are all realized as simply [h] in certain dialects. ⟨sch⟩ may also surface as [ʃ]or[sk].
  • ^ a b The digraph ⟨sh⟩ is pronounced [s] in some varieties, [ʃ] in others.
  • ^ As in French, stress always falls on the last vowel in Walloon.
  • ^ a b /ɑː/ and /ɑ̃/ show variation with []/[ɔː]/[] and [ɔ̃], respectively.
  • ^ a b Open-mid /ɛː/ and /ɛ̃/ may be close-mid [eː] and [ẽ].
  • ^ Merges with [] in some dialects.
