Notes

  1. ^ the affricate /d͡ʒ/ ج is realised as a [d] by a number of speakers or in a number of words.
  2. ^ [q] is an allophone of /ɡ/ ⟨ق⟩ and it only occurs in few phrases and words due to the influence of Modern Standard Arabic.
  3. ^ The marginal phoneme /ɫ/ only occurs in the word الله /aɫːaːh/ ('god') and words derived from it, such as يلا /jaɫːa/ "come on", they contrast in والله /waɫːa/ ('i swear') vs. ولَّا /walːa/ ('or').
