Note: For the sake of simplicity, the following changes have been made to the usual phonetic descriptions of various IPA characters:
- “Labial” is used as a cover term for bilabial and labio-dental.
- [ǝ] has been placed in the Open Mid row.
- To shorten the tables, “Approximant” is used as a cover term for approximants, glides, taps, and trills.
- Where a consonant or pair of consonants appears in two columns, it means that place distinction is unimportant for the phoneme(s) in question.
