^ abcdefgCombinations [jɑ,jæ], [jɤ̞,je], [ju,jʉ] are spelled in Cyrillic as Я я, Е е, Ю ю, respectively, and in Latin as ya/yä, yı/ye, yu/yü.
^ ab[q] and [ʁ] are spelled in Cyrillic as К к and Г г, and only in a few words as къ and гъ, whereas in Latin, they're spelled as q and ğ respectively.
^Only in Arabic loanwords, ь and э are used to indicate the glottal stop: e.g. мәсьәлә and маэмай.
^The low back vowel /ɑ/ is realised as [ɒ] when it occurs at the beginning of words, e.g. bara[bɒrɑ] 'he goes', baralar[bɒrɑlɑr] 'they go'.
^ abCombinations [qæ,ʁæ] and [qø,ʁø] are spelled in Cyrillic as ка/га and ко/го respectively and in Latin as qä/ğä and qö/ğö.
^While the letter ä is officially part of the current Latin script of Tatar Zamanälif, some Tatars writing in the Latin script use ə instead. This has unofficially been called the Neo-alif alphabet, which disregards ä due to its abundant occurrence in Tatar words compared to the other umlaut letters, creating an undesired aesthetic outcome.
^Tatar uses a combination of г / к + ый to indicate [ʁ] and [q], respectively. Because unlike in Bashkurt, Tatar lacks the Cyrillic letters ғ and ҡ (ğ and q in the Latin script). The Cyrillic letters г and к are used to indicate both k/g and q/ğ in Tatar. Therefore, the spelling of гый/кый in the Tatar Latin script is ği/qi.
