Notes※
- ^ Sounds listed on the right column occur in certain peripheral dialects.
- ^ The latter realizations are most common in peripheric areas, such as Ventimiglia/southern Piedmont. In particular, ※ and ※ are occurrences of /s/ and /z/ before consonants In the Tabarchino dialect of Carloforte.
- ^ Like most other Northern Italian languages, Ligurian nasals never assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, unlike in Standard Italian. ※ is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters, and it may contrast with /n/ only before vowels (e.g. pénn-a /ˈpeŋa/ 'sorrow' vs pénna /ˈpena/ 'quill').
- ^ All vowels can occur in both stressed or unstressed positions except short /ɛ/, which is always stressed.
- ^ Consonant and semivowel lengthening optionally occurs in paroxytones between a stressed short vowel and "a vowel," and is represented in IPA by, either doubling the consonant or through the ⟨ː⟩ marker (e.g. euggio ※/※).
