Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Consonant and semivowel lengthening (occurring in certain dialects after stressed short vowels) is represented in IPA by either doubling the consonant or through the ⟨ː⟩ marker (e.g. cràdder [ˈkradder]/[ˈkradːer]).
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 /dz/, /z/, /ts/, /s/ are most commonly [dð̠], [ð̠]~[ʐ], [tθ̠], [θ̠]~[ʂ], often with labialization.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 As in most Northern Italian languages, Emilian-Romagnol nasals do not generally assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, differently from what happens in standard Italian. [ŋ] is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters, with the only exceptions being [ɱ] before /f/~/v/ and (only in a few cases) [] before dentals /t/~/d/ (the latter being here transcribed ⟨n⟩ for simplicity).
  4. In Piacentino, /ŋ/ is silent in syllable coda after [əi̯].
  5. 5.0 5.1 /v/ is realized as [bv] or [pf] in certain instances in Mirandolese, while post- or pre-consonantal /w/ may result in [v] in Reggiano, Romagnol and some other dialects.
  6. Vowel length is distinctive in stressed position (with long vowels occurring only in such contexts), however it may not always be the same throughout the dialects (vowels that are long in certain places may be short somewhere else, and vice versa). Sometimes vowels may also result in diphthongs, or (especially /e/) be dropped if unstressed. Note that especially Eastern dialects tend to have slightly more central vowels than they are transcribed.
  7. 7.0 7.1 7.2 [a] and [ɐ] are in varying distribution according to the dialect; however, the first is often stressed while the latter is predominantly unstressed.
  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 Always stressed.
  9. 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 Only occurring in Bolognese.
  10. 10.0 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 10.6 Only occurring in Piacentino.
  11. 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 In Romagnol dialects, /eː/ and /oː/ are generally [eə̯] and [oə̯] (if followed by a nasal or a liquid [eɪ̯] and [oʊ̯]), while /ɛː/ and /ɔː/ tend more to [ɛɐ̯] and [ɔɐ̯].
