* There is an abundance of diphthongs and triphthongs in Aragonese; however it is unclear how they are treated (e.g. as complex phonemes or sequences). @mott_chistabino_2007 explains that in order to preserve the CV syllable structure, thus avoiding "vowels in hiatus," diphthongs and triphthongs are present whenever juxtaposing vowels are in succession (pp. 108-110). On the other hand, @Aragonesa2017 explains that consecutive juxtaposing vowels are not always part of the same syllable, implying that vowel combinations can merely be sequences (p. 4). Because of this ambiguity, diphthongs and triphthongs will not be represented in the rules. |

* ⟨k⟩, ⟨j⟩, and ⟨w⟩ appear in loanwords [@Ledgeway2016, pp. 393-395]. |
|
|
* Stress is denoted by accented vowels; however, we have chosen not to account for stress, so accented vowels will be transcribed to their plain counterparts. |

* /k/ is often deleted word-finally [@sanchez_pitarch_propuesta_2010, p. 5]. |
|
|
* Voiced stops become fricatives between vowels [@mott_chistabino_2007, pp. 104-105]. |
|
|
* /d/ is often deleted completely between vowels (ibid.). |
|
|
* In syllable-final positions, /s/ may become voiced preceding voiced consonants [@Ledgeway2016, p. 389]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Very often, the voiced approximants in Chistabino are reduced to zero by assimilation to following consonants, as in "ilesia" [i'lesja] ("church") [@mott_chistabino_2007, p. 105]. |
|
|
* Nasal consonants assimilate to the place of articulation of the following obstruent [@mott_chistabino_2007, p. 106]. |
|
|
* /l/ assimilates to the place of the following interdental, dental, or palatalized consonant [@mott_chistabino_2007, p. 7]. |
