Notes

[edit ]
  1. ^ a b c d /tsdzsz/ vary between these sounds, depending on speaker and situation. The latter is especially common when followed by the vowel /i/, including its reduced form [j]. That is, [sj] is generally closer to English shill.
  2. ^ a b As the Malagasy spellings ‹tr, dr› suggest, /ʈʂɖʐ/ may be released into a trill, depending on speaker and situation.
