[edit] Notes
- ^ Persian consonants can be geminated, especially in words from Arabic. This is represented in IPA by doubling the consonant: [sejjed].
- ^ a b The unvoiced stops /p, t, tʃ, k/ are aspirated much like their English counterparts: they become aspirated when they begin a syllable, though aspiration is not contrastive.
- ^ When /ɣ/ (spelled either غ or ق) occurs at the beginning of a word, it is realized as a voiced uvular plosive [ɢ].
- ^ A trilled allophone [r] occurs word-initially.
- ^ Stress falls on the last stem syllable of most words. For the various exception and other clarifications, see Persian phonology#Stress
- ^ a b c In the modern Persian script, the "short" vowels /æ/, /e/, /o/ are usually not written; only the long vowels /ɒː/, /iː/, /uː/ are represented in the text. This, of course, creates certain ambiguities.
