This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Korean on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Korean in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
Some words experience tensification of initial plain consonants, in both native and Sino-Korean words. It is proscribed in normative Standard Korean, but may be widespread or occur in free variation in certain words. [36] Examples: 가시 /kasi/ "1) thorn; 2) worm" is pronounced 까시 /k͈asi/
Changing the symbols between these slashes would either change the identity of the word or produce nonsense.

The following is the chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a standardized system of phonetic symbols devised and maintained by the International Phonetic Association. It is not a complete list of all possible speech sounds in the world's languages, only those about which stand-alone articles exist in this encyclopedia.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʐ , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is z`. Like all the retroflex consonants , the IPA symbol is formed by adding a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of a z (the letter used for the corresponding alveolar consonant ).
