Other symbols
IPAGujaratiIASTNotes
◌̃ nasal vowel ([õː], etc.)
◌̃ ◌̤murmured vowel[4]
ː Length: Vowels are long when nasal (e.g. [moʈʈũː]
ˈ stress
(placed before stressed syllable)
  1. 1 2 3 4 The voiced aspirated stops /ɡʱ, dʱ, bʱ/ and /pʰ/ have spirant allophones [ɣ, ð, β, f].(Cardona & Suthar 2003, p. 665)
  2. 1 2 3 The voiced retroflex stops and the nasal /ɖʱ, ɖ, ɳ/ have flapped allophones [ɽʱ, ɽ, ɽ̃]. Intervocalically all three are flapped. The stops are also flapped when before or after other consonants.(Mistry 1997, p. 659) The stops are unflapped initially, geminated, and postnasally; and flapped intervocalically, finally, and before or after other consonants.(Masica 1991, p. 97).
  3. 1 2 3 While there is dialectal variation in this regard, for Wikipedia transcriptions [ʃ] appears contiguous with palatal segments and [ʂ] appears before retroflex consonants: [spəʂʈ] ('clear').(Mistry 1997, p. 658)
  4. Gujarati contrasts murmured and non-murmured vowels, except for /e/ and /o/.(Cardona & Suthar 2003, p. 662) (Mistry 2003, p. 116).
