 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Slovene on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Slovene 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. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ? ?, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters. |
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Slovene language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
See Slovene phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Slovene.

Notes
edit- ^ a b c [dz, ?, v] are allophones of /ts, x, f/ that occur before voiced consonants (Herrity (2000:16)).
- ^ a b c Orthographic sequences ?lj, nj, rj? are pronounced /lj, nj, rj/ only if a vowel follows; otherwise, the /j/ is not pronounced. For ?rj?, it is reflected in the orthography, but for ?lj, nj? it is not.
- ^ a b c d Nasals always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Before velar consonants they are [?], and before labial consonants they are [m]; the labiodental [?] appears before /f/ and /?/. Orthographic ?n? before ?p? and ?b? is rare and is confined mostly to loanwords.
- ^ a b Standard Slovene features three allophones of /v/ (the latter two sometimes also occurring for /l/): before vowels, it is [?], after a vowel it is [w], and between a syllable boundary and a voiceless consonant, it is [?] (?u?tar?i?, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
- ^ Some scholars have found that vowel length in Standard Slovene is no longer distinctive, (?u?tar?i?, Komar & Petek (1999:136), Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Srebot-Rejec (1988)) and the only differences in vowel length are that the stressed vowels are longer than the unstressed ones,(Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., ?u?tar?i?, Komar & Petek (1999:137)) with stressed open syllables longer than stressed closed syllables (Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF).).
- ^ Tonic marks are not part of the orthography but are found in dictionaries such as "Slovenski pravopis 2001". Tone marks can also be found on ?r?, which signifies the sequence /?r/.
- ^ a b Wherever possible, one should transcribe Slovene with both tonic and stress marks. If the correct tones are unknown, it is acceptable to put only a stress-based transcription.[problem]
- ^ /y/ appears only in loanwords and is often replaced by /í/.
