^ ابIn most varieties of Brazilian Portuguese, /d, t/ are affricated to [dʒ, tʃ] before /i, ĩ/.
^In European Portuguese, post-vocallic /l/ is usually velarized much like with pill for many English speakers. For most Brazilians, it has been vocalized to [w].
^The rhotic consonant represented as <ʁ> has considerable variation across different variants, being pronounced as [x], [h], [χ], [ʁ], etc., in Brazil and as [ʁ], [r], etc., in Portugal. See also Guttural R#Portuguese.
