Aiuto:AFI/Berber

This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Berber on Wikipedia.

It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Berber 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 establishing consensus on the talk page first.

H:IPA-BER

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Berber languages pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see {{IPA-ber}} and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

In the interest of pan-Berber legibility, the Berber Latin alphabet omits the partly phonemic contrast found in some Berber varieties (notably Kabyle and Tarifit) between stops and fricatives.
