Ajuda:AFI

De la Viquipèdia, l'enciclopèdia lliure

Aquí teniu una clau bàsica per a la comprensió dels símbols de l'Alfabet Fonètic Internacional. Per al subconjunt de símbols del català, visiteu Ajuda:AFI per al català. D'altra banda, no s'hi inclouen diversos símbols rars, que trobareu en l'article principal de l'AFI.

Per a cada símbol AFI, es dóna un exemple en anglès sempre que sigui possible; aquí "RP" es refereix a la pronunciació rebuda. Els idiomes que s'utilitzen per il·lustrar els sons addicionals són principalment els més propensos a ser familiar per a parlants d'anglès, francès, alemany i espanyol. Per als símbols que no estan coberts per aquells, el recurs es pren als idiomes populosos de Xinès Mandarí, Hindustani, àrab i rus. Per sons encara no cobertes, s'utilitzen altres més petites, però ben coneguts idiomes, com el swahili, turc i zulu.

La columna de l'esquerra mostra els símbols d'aquesta manera: '(i) altaveu [a]'. Feu clic en la icona de l'altaveu per sentir el so; feu clic en el símbol en si mateix per a un article dedicat amb una descripció més completa i exemples de diversos idiomes. Tots els sons es parlen més d'una vegada, i els sons de les consonants es pronuncien una vegada seguides per una vocal i una vegada entre vocals.
