Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ There is not an unified Venitian orthography. The same sound is rappresented with various letters, depending on the writer. The same writer would usually use the same letter for on sound.
  2. ^ Only occurring between vowels in a small number of dialects around Feltre.
  3. ^ Often realized as a non-syllabic [] or omitted. In some dialects it is pronounced [l].
  4. ^ As in most Northern Italian languages, nasals do not assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, differently from what happens in standard Italian. In Venetian, [ŋ] (in Italian only occurring in /nɡ/, /nk/) is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters: e.g. canpo [ˈkaŋpo], cantoṅ [kaŋˈtoŋ].
  5. ^ The phoneme /r/ in Venetian is almost always an alveolar flap, but for some it may be retroflex [ɽ].
  6. ^ Only used in few dialects or in loanwords.
