Notes

1. ^^abc[dz,ɣ,v] are allophones of/ts,x,f/ that occur before voiced consonants (Herrity (2000:16)).
2. ^^abcOrthographic sequences⟨lj, nj, rj⟩ are pronounced/lj,nj,rj/ only if a vowel follows; otherwise, the/j/ is not pronounced. For⟨rj⟩, it is reflected in the orthography, but for⟨lj, nj⟩ it is not.
3. ^^abcdNasals alwaysassimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Beforevelar consonants they are[ŋ], and beforelabial consonants they are[m]; the labiodental[ɱ] appears before/f/ and/ʋ/. Orthographic⟨n⟩ before⟨p⟩ and⟨b⟩ is rare and is confined mostly to loanwords.
4. ^^abStandard Slovene features three allophones of/v/ (the latter two sometimes also occurring for/l/): before vowels, it is[ʋ], after a vowel it is[w], and between a syllable boundary and a voiceless consonant, it is[ʍ] (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
5. ^Some scholars have found that vowel length in Standard Slovene is no longer distinctive, (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136),Tatjana Srebot-Rejec."On the vowel system in present-day Slovene"(PDF).,Srebot-Rejec (1988)) and the only differences in vowel length are that the stressed vowels are longer than the unstressed ones,(Tatjana Srebot-Rejec."On the vowel system in present-day Slovene"(PDF).,Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:137)) with stressed open syllables longer than stressed closed syllables (Tatjana Srebot-Rejec."On the vowel system in present-day Slovene"(PDF).).
6. ^Tonic marks are not part of the orthography but are found in dictionaries such as"Slovenski pravopis 2001". Tone marks can also be found on⟨r⟩, which signifies the sequence/ər/.
7. ^^abWherever possible, one should transcribe Slovene with both tonic and stress marks. If the correct tones are unknown, it is acceptable to put only a stress-based transcription.^[problem]
8. ^/ý/ appears only in loanwords and is often replaced by/í/.
