^ 1.01.11.21.31.41.51.61.71.8Apart from being the main realization of the phonemes /b,d,dz,dʒ,ɡ,ɟ,z,ʒ/, [b,d,dz,dʒ,ɡ,ɟ,z,ʒ] also occur as allophones of /p,t,ts,tʃ,k,c,s,ʃ/ before the voiced obstruents /b,d,ɟ,ɡ,dʒ,z,ʒ,ɦ/. [v] also occurs as an allophone of /f/ in the same environment.
^ 2.02.12.22.32.42.52.62.7Apart from being the main realization of the phonemes /c,k,p,s,ʃ,t,ts,tʃ/, [c,k,p,s,ʃ,t,ts,tʃ] also occur as word-final allophones of /ɟ,ɡ,b,z,ʒ,d,dz,dʒ/ unless the following word beings with any of the voiced obstruents /b,d,ɟ,ɡ,dʒ,z,ʒ,ɦ/ and is pronounced without a pause, when they are realized as voiced [ɟ,ɡ,b,z,ʒ,d,dz,dʒ].
^ 3.03.13.23.3The phones transcribed [f,v,ʋ,ʊ̯] are allophones of a single/v/ phoneme (but note that [f,v] are also allophones of the /f/ phoneme): • [f] occurs word-initially before the voiceless obstruents /p,t,c,k,tʃ,s,ʃ,x/; • [v] occurs word-initially before the voiced obstruents /b,d,ɟ,ɡ,dʒ,z,ʒ,ɦ/; •[ʊ̯] or [ʋ] (in our transcriptions always represented as [ʊ̯]) occur in the syllable coda; • [ʋ] occurs in all other cases (Hanulíková & Hamann (2010:374页)).
^ 4.04.1The /l–ʎ/ contrast is neutralized before front vowels, when only /l/ occurs. The neutralization is taken further in western dialects in which /ʎ/ merges with /l/ in all environments (Hanulíková & Hamann (2010:374页)).
^ 5.05.15.25.3Nasals always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Before velar consonants they are [ŋ], and before labial consonants they are [m]; the labiodental [ɱ]appears before /f/ and /v/. Orthographic ⟨n⟩ before ⟨p⟩ and ⟨b⟩ is rare and is confined mostly to loanwords.
^In the majority of cases only one long vowel per word may occur. The phonemic diphthongs /ɪ̯a,ɪ̯ɛ,ɪ̯u,ʊ̯ɔ/ count as long vowels - compare the adjectives beliansky[ˈbɛlɪ̯anski] and bratislavský[ˈbratislaʊ̯skiː]. In the latter word, there is a phonetic diphthong [aʊ̯], which is analyzed phonetically as a sequence of /a/ and /v/.
