This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Gujarati on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Gujarati in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
Gujarati contrasts oral and nasal, and murmured and non-murmured vowels, [2] except for /e/ and /o/. [3] In absolute word-final position, the higher and lower vowels of the /e ɛ/ and /o ɔ/ sets vary.

Throughout Wikipedia, the pronunciation of words is indicated using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The following tables list the IPA symbols used for English words and pronunciations. Please note that several of these symbols are used in ways that are specific to Wikipedia, and differ from those used by dictionaries.
The following is the chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a standardized system of phonetic symbols devised and maintained by the International Phonetic Association.

The order of the variant pronunciation symbols is the same as in the source. Smaller text (like so) highlights variant pronunciations that are not preferred (only some dictionaries make such a distinction). A comma (,) separates different pronunciation depending on the word or depending on the region.
