Notes

1. ^ ^{a b c} are allophones of /ts, x, f/ that occur before voiced consonants (Herrity (2000:16)).
2. ^ ^{a b c} Orthographic sequences ⟨lj, nj, rj⟩ are pronounced /lj, nj, rj/ only if a vowel follows; otherwise, the /j/ is not pronounced. For ⟨rj⟩, it is reflected in the orthography, but for ⟨lj, nj⟩ it is not.
3. ^ ^{a b c d} Nasals always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Before velar consonants they are , and before labial consonants they are ; the labiodental appears before /f/ and /ʋ/. Orthographic ⟨n⟩ before ⟨p⟩ and ⟨b⟩ is rare and is confined mostly to loanwords.
4. ^ ^{a b} Standard Slovene features three allophones of /v/ (the latter two sometimes also occurring for /l/): before vowels, it is , after a vowel it is , and between a syllable boundary and a voiceless consonant, it is (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
5. ^ Some scholars have found that vowel length in Standard Slovene is no longer distinctive, (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136), Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Srebot-Rejec (1988)) and the only differences in vowel length are that the stressed vowels are longer than the unstressed ones,(Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:137)) with stressed open syllables longer than stressed closed syllables (Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF).).
6. ^ Tonic marks are not part of the orthography but are found in dictionaries such as "Slovenski pravopis 2001". Tone marks can also be found on ⟨r⟩, which signifies the sequence /ər/.
7. ^ ^{a b} Wherever possible, one should transcribe Slovene with both tonic and stress marks. If the correct tones are unknown, it is acceptable to put only a stress-based transcription.
8. ^ /ý/ appears only in loanwords and is often replaced by /í/.
