Notes:

1. ^ Partikol Vokatif: â Vreizh "O Brittany".
2. ^ Pangkal kata.
3. ^ Uncuk kata.
4. ^ Mak titulis lanisi ⟨ch, cʼh, f, s⟩ rik spiralisasi ⟨p⟩ > ⟨f⟩ [v]

.

1. ^ Unstressed ⟨e, eu, o⟩ represent [ɛ, œ, ɔ]

in Leoneg but [e, ø, o]
in the other dialects. The realisations [ɛ̞, œ̞, ɔ̞]
appear mainly before ⟨rr⟩ (also less often before ⟨cʼh⟩), semivowels [j, w]

, consonant clusters beginning with ⟨r⟩ or ⟨l⟩. Stressed long ⟨e, eu, o⟩ represent [eː, øː, oː] .

1. ^ In Gwenedeg velars are palatalized before ⟨e⟩ and ⟨i⟩, i.e. ⟨k⟩, ⟨g⟩, ⟨kw/kou⟩, ⟨cʼhw/cʼhou⟩, ⟨gw/gou⟩, ⟨w/ou⟩, ⟨sk⟩ represent [c~tʃ, ɟ~dʒ, cɥ, hɥ, ɟɥ, ɥ, sc~ʃc]

. In the case of word-final ⟨g⟩ and ⟨k⟩ palatalization to [c]

also occurs after ⟨i⟩.

1. ^ Before a vowel other than ⟨i⟩ the digraph ⟨ni⟩ is written instead of ⟨gn⟩, e.g. bleniañ

"to drive", radical blegn

, 1PS preterite blegnis

, 3PS preterite blenias

.

1. ^ Silent in words such as ha(g)

, he(cʼh)

, ho(cʼh)

, holl

, hon

, hor

and hol

. Always silent in Gwenedeg and Leoneg.

1. ^ ⟨i⟩ is realized as [j]

when it precedes or follows a vowel (or when between vowels), but in words such as lien

, liorzh

, rakdiazezañ

it represents [iː]
(in orthography ⟨ï⟩ may be used: lïen

, lïorzh

, rakdïazezañ

).

1. ^ ⟨ilh⟩ represents [ʎ]

when it follows a vowel, after a consonant it represents [iʎ]

. But before a vowel other than ⟨i⟩, ⟨li⟩ is written instead of ⟨ilh⟩, e.g. heuliañ

"to follow", radical heuilh

, 1PS preterite heuilhis

, 3PS preterite heulias

. In some regions [j]

may be heard instead of [ʎ]

.

1. ^ Word-finally after a cluster of unvoiced consonants.
2. ^ In front of ⟨k, g⟩.
3. ^ The digraph ⟨ou⟩ is realized like ⟨w⟩ when preceded or followed by a vowel (or when between vowels), but in words such as Doue

, douar

, gouarn

it represents [uː]

.

1. ^ The digraph ⟨où⟩ represents plural endings. Its pronunciation varies by dialect: [u, o, ø, ow, aw, aɥ, ɔɥ]

rating geographically from Northwest Leon to Southeast Gwened.

1. ^ ⟨v⟩ usually represents [v]

, but word-finally (except in word-final ⟨ñv⟩) it represents [w]

in KLT, [ɥ]
in Gwenedeg and [f]
in Goëlo. The pronunciation [v]
is retained word-finally in verbs. In words bliv

, Gwiskriv

, gwiv

, liv

, piv

, riv

it represents [u]
in KLT, [ɥ]
in Gwenedeg and [f]
in Goëlo. Word-finally following ⟨r, l, n, z⟩ it represents [o]

.

1. ^ But silent in words such as gouez

, bloaz

, goaz

, ruziañ

, kleiz

, rakdïazezañ

, bezañ

, Roazhon

, dezhañ

, kouezhañ

, 'z

, az

, ez

, da'

z

, gwirionez

, enep(g)wirionez

, moneiz

, falsvoneiz

, karantez

, kengarantez

, nevez

, nevezcʼhanet

, nadozioù

, abardaez

, gwez

, bemdez

, kriz

, bleiz

, morvleiz

, dezhi

. ⟨z⟩ is generally silent in Kerneweg, Tregerieg and Gwenedeg, but in Leoneg ⟨z(h)⟩ is always pronounced.

1. ^ Used to distinguish words such as stêr

"river", hêr

"heir", kêr

"town" (also written kaer

) from ster

"sense", her

"bold", ker

"dear".

1. ^ Used to distinguish trôad

"circuit/tour" from troad

"foot".

1. ^ In northern dialects (mainly in Leoneg), there is a tendency to voice ⟨cʼh⟩ between vowels. [ɣ]

also appears as the lenition of ⟨g, cʼh⟩ and mixed mutation of ⟨g⟩.

1. ^ The lenition of ⟨d⟩ and the spirantization of ⟨t⟩ are both represented by ⟨z⟩ is mainly pronounced [z]

although in certain regions [s]
(especially for the spirantization of ⟨t⟩ in Cornouaille) and [ð]
(in some Haut-Vannetais varieties) also occur.

1. ^ The pronunciation of ⟨r⟩ varies by dialect, nowadays uvular [ʀ]

(or [ʁ]

) is standard; [r]

occurs in Leoneg, [ɾ]
or [ɹ]
in Tregerieg, and [ʀ], [ʁ], [r], and [ɾ]
in Gwenedeg.

1. ^ In Gwenedeg an unstressed ⟨e⟩ often represents [ə]

.

1. ^ Lenited varieties of ⟨r, l, n⟩ may appear word-initially in case of soft mutation.
2. ^ In Leoneg [u(ː)]

in front of a nasal.

1. ^ In Leoneg ⟨w⟩ represents [v]

before ⟨e, i⟩.

1. ^ In Leoneg ⟨z(h)⟩ represents [ʃ]

or [ʒ]
before ⟨i⟩.

1. ^ In Leoneg ⟨gwr⟩ represents [ɡr]

.

1. ^ Before a vowel.
