Notes

↑ ^1,0 ^1,1 ^1,2 Phonemic /b/, /d/, /ɡ/ between vowels are usually realized as [β], [ð], [ɣ], and sometimes even omitted. Omission does not normally occur when those are the realizations for phonemic /p/, /t/, /θ/, /k/.
↑ ^2,0 ^2,1 ^2,2 ^2,3 ^2,4 ^2,5 ^2,6 Gemination, here represented by ⟨ː⟩, is only distinctive for the pairs /l, lː/, /m, mː/ and /n, nː/, and and only occurs after a vowel, where it also occurs for Template:IPAblink, Template:IPAblink and Template:IPAblink (the latter two being common realizations of /lːj/ and /nːj/, respectively).
↑ Usually, /k/ is written down following either the Italian style (by using Template:Angbr before e and i: e.g. anchilla, chelu, chena, chi, etc.), the Byzantine style (by using Template:Angbr: e.g. ankilla, kelu, kena, ki, etc.) or (now rare) the Spanish style (by using Template:Angbr before e and i: e.g. anquilla, quelu, quena, qui, etc.)
↑ ^4,0 ^4,1 ^4,2 Nasal consonants always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Thus, the n in /nɡ/~/nk/ is velar Template:IPAblink, but before /v/ or /f/, it is labiodental Template:IPAblink. It is Template:IPAblink only before /p/, /b/ or /m/ and Template:IPAblink before /ɖ/.
↑ Glottal stops usually occur for intervocalic /k/ in some dialects of Barbagia, and for intervocalic /l/ and /n/ in some dialects of Sarrabus.
↑ ^6,0 ^6,1 /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ are realized as [e] and [o], respectively, if the following syllable contains /i/, /u/, a palatal, or another occurrence of [e] or [o]. This is not the case if [i] results from a phonemic /ɛ/.
↑ One of the cases in which the grapheme Template:Angbr does not represent the sound Template:IPAblink.
↑ A rare case, using the grapheme Template:Angbr, normally representing a full vowel /i/.
↑ Phonetically transcribed as [saɾˈdinːja], as opposed to Sardigna in Logudorese, transcribed as [saɾˈdiɲːa]. In Campidanese this semivowel is more usual.
