! A a 
| class="IPA" | a
| 
|-
| Ai ai, Ay ay
| class="IPA" | ai̯
| The only difference between '''ai''' and '''ay''' is that theoretically final '''ai''' is unstressed while final '''ay''' is stressed.  In practice final '''ai''' occurs mostly in unstressed monosyllabic particles like ''mai''.
|-
| Ao ao, Au au
| class="IPA" | au̯
| These digraphs are pronounced alike.  Their distribution is governed by etymological considerations, in that '''ao''' is found where there was {{SC|al}} in Latin, and '''au''' elsewhere. Note ''stao'', which is from {{sc|stabulum}}!
