Notes[edit]

  1. ^ If a consonant is doubled after a vowel, it is geminated. In IPA, gemination can be represented either by doubling the consonant (fattu /ˈfattu/) or by the length marker ⟨ː⟩. Sicilian, like standard Italian, also has a sandhi phenomenon called syntactic gemination, generally not represented graphically: e.g. è loncu with [ll].
  • ^ a b c d e /b/, /dʒ/, /ɖ/, /ɲ/, /ʃ/ and /ts/ are always geminated after a vowel, before a vowel or a semivowel.
  • ^ If the two characters ⟨ɡ⟩ and do not match and if the first looks like a ⟨γ⟩, there is a default font. See Help:IPA § Rendering issues.
