Notes
- 1 /m/ becomes the labiodental /ɱ/ before the labiodentals /φ/ and /β/.
- 2 The voiceless palatal stop /k/ is assigned the value /ʔ/.
- 3 The voiceless bilabial aspirated stop /pʰ/ is assigned the value /φ/.
- 4 The voiced bilabial aspirated stop /bʰ/ is assigned the value /β/.
- 5 The labiodental approximant /ʋ/ is assigned the value /w/.
- 6 The alveolar trill /r/ is assigned the value /ɾ/.
- 7 The virama mutes the vowel of a consonant, so that only the consonant is pronounced. It is used when a nasal is the coda, e.g., యన, yana, lake; యన్ ల, yanla, child.
