Notes

  1. ↑ a b c The affricates may be written more precisely with tie-bars: Template:IPAblink, Template:IPAblink, Template:IPAblink, but they are omitted in transcriptions as they do not display correctly in all browsers. However, the affricates contrast with the plosive–fricative sequences: Script error: No such module "IPA".Template:IPAlinkTemplate:IPAlinkScript error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "IPA".Template:IPAlinkTemplate:IPAlinkScript error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA".Template:IPAlinkTemplate:IPAlinkScript error: No such module "IPA".. Usually, the spelling of the Romanian word indicates the pronunciation, with the affricates spelled ț, c, g, with one letter, and the sequences spelled ts, tș, dj, with two. However, personal names are the most common exceptions.
  2. ↑ Not a separate phoneme but an allophone of Script error: No such module "IPA". before velars.
  3. ↑ a b The approximants Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". can appear before and after vowels, including the diphthongs Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA"., in almost any combination.
