The charts below show how Slovene words are pronounced and how this is represented in Wiktionary.

Accent and tone marks are not part of standard orthography, but are found in dictionaries and other reference works. The vowel spellings are shown here in standard orthography, stress-based diacritic orthography, and tonal diacritic orthography, respectively. Other symbols that are not used in standard orthography, but are included in some reference works, are placed in parentheses. Tonal symbols, as well as the symbols in parentheses, are used in Wiktionary entries. SeeWiktionary:Slovene entry guidelines for more details.

English approximations are in some cases very loose, and only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation. Seew:Slovene phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds.

When both a low/rising and high/falling tone are possible on a vowel, the macron is used. Thus,ā stands for bothȃ andá, whileə̄ stands for bothə̏ andə̀.
