- ^ It represents two phonemes. Not the same as [t͡s].
- ^ Voiced glottal fricative: 1. Between two non-identical vowels 2. Between a sonorant (m, n, ny, l, j, r) and a vowel (in this order).
- ^ At the end of the word after f, k, p. Examples: döfj, rakj, kapj.
- ^ At the end of the word after b, v, g, r, m. Examples: dobj, óvj, égj, férj, szomj.
- ^ A weak glide [j] pronounced within a word (or a compound element) between two adjacent vowels (where one of them is i or í) to fill the hiatus. Since there is only a minor difference between the regular [j] and the weaker glide [j], the same IPA symbol is used for both.
- ^ n and m in the nf, nv, mf, mv consonant combinations.
- ^ n in the ng and nk consonant combinations.
