===Notes=== | |||
<e> is realized as [{{IPA|e}}] when it descends from Latin <tt>OE Ē I</tt> and as [{{IPA|ɛ}}] when it descends from Latin <tt>AE E</tt>. Stressed <e> is [{{IPA|ɛ}}]. <o> is realized as [{{IPA|o}}] when it descends from Latin <tt>AU Ō U</tt> and as [{{IPA|ɔ}}] when it descends from Latin <tt>O</tt>. Stressed <o> is [{{IPA|ɔ}}]. | |||
<c> is realized as [k] before <a o u>, and as [tʃ] before <nowiki><i e></nowiki>. <g> is realized as [g] before <a o u>, and as [dʒ] before <nowiki><i e></nowiki>. <ch> is always [k], and <gh> is always [g]. <ci gi> before <a o u> are realized as affricates without pronouncing <nowiki><i></nowiki>. Multiple vowels are usually realized as diphthongs. | |||
===Stress=== | |||
Stress in Carune may be unmarked or marked. Marked stress is shown by a grave accent, e.g. '''parlarì''' [parlaˈri]. Unmarked stress falls as follows: | |||
* If the word ends in a vowel or '''n''', stress falls on the penultimate syllable, e.g. '''parlare''' [parˈlare]. | |||
* Otherwise, stress falls on the ultimate syllable. | |||
===Allophony=== | |||
There are three main allophonic variations that occur in spoken Carune: | |||
* word-final /a/ is realized as [{{IPA|ǝ}}] in polysyllabic words where it is unstressed, e.g. '''vita''' "life" /ˈvita/ realized as [ˈvitǝ] | |||
* intervocalic /s/ is often realized as [z], e.g. '''usare''' "use" /uˈsar{{IPA|ɛ}}/ realized as [uˈzar{{IPA|ɛ}}] | |||
* intervocalic /ts/ is generally realized as [dz], e.g. '''sezi''' "sixteen" /s{{IPA|ɛ}}tsi/ realized as [s{{IPA|ɛ}}dzi] | |||
It should also be noted that word-final -'''e''' often elides when unstressed, especially before a vowel. | |||

Notes
<e> is realized as [e] when it descends from Latin OE Ē I and as [ɛ] when it descends from Latin AE E. Stressed <e> is [ɛ]. <o> is realized as [o] when it descends from Latin AU Ō U and as [ɔ] when it descends from Latin O. Stressed <o> is [ɔ].
<c> is realized as [k] before <a o u>, and as [tʃ] before <i e>. <g> is realized as [g] before <a o u>, and as [dʒ] before <i e>. <ch> is always [k], and <gh> is always [g]. <ci gi> before <a o u> are realized as affricates without pronouncing <i>. Multiple vowels are usually realized as diphthongs.
Stress
Stress in Carune may be unmarked or marked. Marked stress is shown by a grave accent, e.g. parlarì [parlaˈri]. Unmarked stress falls as follows:
- If the word ends in a vowel or n, stress falls on the penultimate syllable, e.g. parlare [parˈlare].
- Otherwise, stress falls on the ultimate syllable.
Allophony
There are three main allophonic variations that occur in spoken Carune:
- word-final /a/ is realized as [ǝ] in polysyllabic words where it is unstressed, e.g. vita "life" /ˈvita/ realized as [ˈvitǝ]
- intervocalic /s/ is often realized as [z], e.g. usare "use" /uˈsarɛ/ realized as [uˈzarɛ]
- intervocalic /ts/ is generally realized as [dz], e.g. sezi "sixteen" /sɛtsi/ realized as [sɛdzi]
It should also be noted that word-final -e often elides when unstressed, especially before a vowel.
