| This is thepronunciation key forIPA transcriptions of Spanish on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Spanish in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishingconsensus on thetalk page first. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, seeHelp:IPA. For the distinction between[ ],/ / and ⟨ ⟩, seeIPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters. |
The charts below show how theInternational Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) representsSpanish language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, seeTemplate:IPA, andWikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
For terms that are more relevant to regions that have not undergoneyeísmo (where words such ashaya andhalla are pronounced differently), words spelled with⟨ll⟩ can be transcribed in IPA with ⟨ʎ⟩. This unmerged pronunciation predominates in the Andes, lowland Bolivia, Paraguay, some rural regions of Spain and some of northern Spain's urban upper class.[1]
For terms that are more relevant to regions that haveseseo (where words such ascaza andcasa are pronounced the same), words spelled with⟨z⟩ or⟨c⟩ (the latter only before⟨i⟩ or⟨e⟩) can be transcribed in IPA with ⟨s⟩. This pronunciation is most commonly found outside mainland Spain.
In all other cases, if a local pronunciation is made, it should be labeled as "local" (e.g.{{IPA|es|...|local}}).
SeeSpanish phonology for a more thorough discussion of the sounds of Spanish, andSpanish dialects and varieties for regional variation.
