- ^ a b c /ç/, /ɦ/, and /x/ can be pronounced as /h/.
- ^ a b c d In Estonian, palatalized consonants, /tʲ nʲ sʲ lʲ/, are pronounced like their non-palatalized counterparts, but the tongue is constricted towards the hard palate as if a simultaneous /j/ were being pronounced.
- ^ Allophone of /n/ before /k/.
