Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Lenition of /b d g/ occurs in regular speech in most Southern Basque dialects. Hualde (1991:99-100).
  2. Silent in Southern Basque dialects.
  3. The realisation of the grapheme j varies depending on dialect and can be [j, ʝ, ɟ, , ʒ, ʃ, χ]. The last, resembling Scottish English loch, is typical of Gipuzkoan, and it has also become common in eastern varieties of Biscayan and the Sakana variety of the Upper Navarrese. However, the standard pronunciation ruled by Euskaltzaindia is [j], and is the one followed in this help.
  4. The double rr is pronounced as a trill [r] in Southern Basque dialects but as a guttural [ʁ] in Northern Basque dialects.
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 Basque contrasts two consonants that sound similar to the /s/ of Englishː /s̺/, which is apical, and /s̻/, which is laminal. /ts̺/ and /ts̻/ are contrasted the same way. The contrast between /s̺, ts̺/, /s̻, ts̻/ and /ʃ, tʃ/ is similar to the contrast between /ʂ, tʂ/, /s, ts/ and /ɕ, tɕ/ in Polish.
  6. Only occurring in Souletin.
