Notes
Phonemes /d/ and /e/ are found only in Spanish loan words.
Phonemes /β, o, o:, e:/ are found only in Spanish loan words or words of obscure origin.
The phoneme /ʐ / is found only in Spanish loan words, words of obscure origin, or onomatopoetic expressions.
The contrast between alveolar and velar nasals in the North Junín dialects is limited to the position before an approximant ([j] or [w]). There are only a few contrastive pairs.
