  2. ^ In Mirandese, the article l (the) is pronounced [l̩] (phonemically /ɨl/).
  3. ^ In Extremaduran, /n/ is the only final consonant that is always pronounced.
  4. ^ a b c d e f The Mirandese contrast between the apical [s̺, z̺] and the laminal [s̻, z̻] is neutralized in favor of the former in Asturian, Leonese and Extremaduran, where the apical diacritic is not used for the sake of simplicity. The laminal [s̻, z̻] are the ordinary alveolar sibilants found in French, German, Mandarin Chinese and the Slavic languages.
  5. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k The contrast between the apical /s̺, z̺/, the laminal /s̻, z̻/ and the palato-alveolar /ʃ, ʒ, tʃ/ found in Mirandese is similar to the contrast between /ʂ, ʐ/, /s, z/ and /ɕ, ʑ, tɕ/ in Polish.
  6. ^ Varies from a voiced retroflex affricate to a voiceless retroflex affricate and, in southwestern Asturian dialects, a voiced retroflex plosive.

  8. ^ a b c Many dialects allow only /a/, /i/ and /u/ in final unstressed syllables.
  9. ^ The semivowels [j] and [w] can be combined with most vowels to form diphthongs and triphthongs.
  10. ^ a b Mirandese has the following nasal vowels: /ɐ̃/, /ɛ̃/, /ĩ/, /ɨ̃/, /õ/ and /ũ/.
