Example Explanation
ˈ N/A [ˈsə̀m] primary stress
  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 [dz, ɣ, v] are allophones of /ts, x, f/ that occur before voiced consonants (Herrity (2000:16)).
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Orthographic sequences ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr are pronounced /lj, nj, rj/ only if a vowel follows; otherwise, the /j/ is not pronounced. For ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr, it is reflected in the orthography, but for ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr it is not.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Nasals always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Before velar consonants they are [ŋ], and before labial consonants they are [m]; the labiodental [ɱ] appears before /f/ and /ʋ/. Orthographic ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr before ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr and ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr is rare and is confined mostly to loanwords.
  4. 4.0 4.1 Standard Slovene features three allophones of /v/ (the latter two sometimes also occurring for /l/): before vowels, it is [ʋ], after a vowel it is [w], and between a syllable boundary and a voiceless consonant, it is [ʍ] (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
  5. Some scholars have found that vowel length in Standard Slovene is no longer distinctive, (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136), Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Srebot-Rejec (1988)) and the only differences in vowel length are that the stressed vowels are longer than the unstressed ones,(Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:137)) with stressed open syllables longer than stressed closed syllables (Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF).).
  6. Tonic marks are not part of the orthography but are found in dictionaries such as "Slovenski pravopis 2001". Tone marks can also be found on ਫਰਮਾ:Angbr, which signifies the sequence /ər/.
  7. 7.0 7.1 Wherever possible, one should transcribe Slovene with both tonic and stress marks. If the correct tones are unknown, it is acceptable to put only a stress-based transcription.[problem]
  8. /ý/ appears only in loanwords and is often replaced by /í/.
