Erhua
There is erhua in the Chengdu and Chongqing dialects. When erhua is applied to a syllable, "-r" is appended to the original final, e.g. becomes. Erhua changes the entire final into either, , , or based on the original final.

Tones
In flowing speech, the fourth tone (213) becomes a low rising tone (13). The actual pronunciation of the first tone is closer to (45) in Chengdu.

Some varieties of Sichuanese have a fifth tone; in Chengdu and Chongqing it has merged with the second tone (Middle Chinese light level tone).

Tone sandhi
Because tone sandhi in Sichuanese has many irregularities, it is indicated by the actual tone appended after the original tone number along with a hyphen. For example, in bao2-1 the original tone is 2 and the actual tone is 1.

These are some tone sandhi patterns: \text{reduplicated second tone }[21]\\ \text{reduplicated fourth tone }[213] \end{Bmatrix} (\text{noun}) \to \begin{Bmatrix} \text{second tone }[21] \\ \text{fourth tone }[213] \end{Bmatrix} + \text{first tone }[55]$$ \text{second tone }[21]\\ \text{fourth tone }[213] \end{Bmatrix} + \begin{Bmatrix} \text{second tone }[21]\\ \text{fourth tone }[213] \end{Bmatrix} \to \begin{Bmatrix} \text{second tone }[21] \\ \text{fourth tone }[213] \end{Bmatrix} + \text{first tone }[55]$$
