Notes

  1. In some dialects it is pronounced [l] or omitted.
  2. As in most Northern Italian languages, nasals do not assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, differently from what happens in standard Italian. In Venetian, [ŋ] (in Italian only occurring in /nɡ/, /nk/) is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters: e.g. canpo [ˈkaŋpo], cantoṅ [kaŋˈtoŋ].
  3. The phoneme /r/ in Venetian is almost always an alveolar flap.
