  1. Walloon consonants are devoiced word-finally, i.e. /d/ changes to [t], /dʒ/ to [tʃ], /z/ to [s], and so on. This is not shown in the spelling.
  2. 2,0 2,1 2,2 2,3 The groups Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr and Template:Angbr are all realized as simply Template:IPAblink in certain dialects. Template:Angbr may also surface as Template:IPAblink or [sk].
  3. 3,0 3,1 The digraph Template:Angbr is pronounced [s] in some varieties, [ʃ] in others.
  4. As in French, stress always falls on the last vowel in Walloon.
  5. 5,0 5,1 /ɑː/ and /ɑ̃/ show variation with Template:IPAblink/Template:IPAblink/Template:IPAblink and Template:IPAblink, respectively.
  6. 6,0 6,1 Open-mid /ɛː/ and /ɛ̃/ may be close-mid [eː] and [ẽ].
