Glyphs of all phones are shown as long as a phone is part of the inventory of a given variety, even when the glyphs of allaophones are identical to the ones of phonemes. The table attempts to list as many sounds as possible. Latn is used in all notes but zza-Latn and kmr-Latn (Hawar & Soviet), as an extension of kmr-Latn (Hawar). If a note is available for a given cell, hovering over (tapping on mobile devices) will activate the info box below the row. Bibliography is down the page.

Characters shown for kmr-Yezi are irrespective of kmr sound inventory. Similarly, all applicable glyphs of a phone are displayed for all kmr varieties if the phone in concern is found in one kmr variety, except for digraphs. More data would help segregate the distribution appropriately.

Seperation of glyphs by the disjunction "or" implies that the phone has multiple graphic representations in circulation without a prevailing glyph. If otherwise is the case, the info box shall include the non-standard uses. Glyphs enclosed in brackets suggest that there are limited use cases for the glyphs in concern, of which some might be non-standard uses, as it is the case with the kmr-Yezi <'>. The judgement of non-standard and standard uses rely on frequency and the sponsorhip of the glyphs in concern.
