Notes

• Letters g and k become palatalized (/gʲ/ and /kʲ/ respectively) before the vowels u and a.
• Letters b, v, g, d, z become devoiced when they're the final letters of words.
• t becomes silent if it appears right after another consonant.
• /ʒ/ (for "j") and /o/ (for "o") are only found in Russian loanwords.
