Notes

  1. ^ In some dialects it is pronounced [l] or omitted.
  2. ^ Like most Northern Italian languages ("dialects" in Italian-language linguistic literature), nasals do not assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant; instead a ɲ is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters. Thus, both the n in /nɡ/, /nk/ (like in standard Italian) and the n in other consonant clusters (e.g. canpo, "field") is a velar [ŋ].
  3. ^ The phoneme /r/ in Venetian is almost always an alveolar flap.
