"സഹായം:IPA for English" എന്ന താളിന്റെ പതിപ്പുകൾ തമ്മിലുള്ള വ്യത്യാസം

'''Pronunciation''' of English words in Wikipedia is most often given in the '''[[International Phonetic Alphabet]],''' or ''IPA.'' The goal is that interpretation should not depend on the reader's dialect, and therefore a [[broad transcription]] is generally used.

Since this key covers standard American, English, and Australian pronunciations, not all of the distinctions shown here will be relevant to your dialect. If, for example, you pronounce ''cot'' and ''caught'' the same, you can ignore the difference between the symbols {{IPA|/ɒ/}} and {{IPA|/ɔː/}}. Again, in many dialects {{IPA|/r/}} is dropped except before a vowel; if you do this, simply ignore {{IPA|/r/}} in the pronunciation guides where you would not pronounce it. It is not necessary to give multiple transcriptions for such variation.
