This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Afrikaans on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Afrikaans in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
For example, Lass (1984), states that the onset of /œu/ is central [ɵu]. [43] In some words which, in English, are pronounced with /əʊ̯/, the Afrikaans equivalent tends to be pronounced with /œʊ̯/, rather than /ʊə/. That happens because Afrikaans /œʊ̯/ is more similar to the usual South African realization of English /əʊ̯/. [41]
The 'close-mid monophthongs' /eː, øː, oː/ (included in the original vowel chart) were ignored, because the most common realization of those are centering diphthongs, which has been the case for decades already (see e.g. Lass, Roger (1987) "Intradiphthongal Dependencies" in Explorations in Dependency Phonology, Dordrecht: Foris Publications ...
This chart provides audio examples for phonetic vowel symbols. The symbols shown include those in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and added material. The chart is based on the official IPA vowel chart. [1] The International Phonetic Alphabet is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet.
Vowel raising is an uncommon form of vowel harmony where a non-open vowel (i.e. any vowel other than /ɑ/) is raised in position by a following vowel (in the same phonological word) at a higher position. The first variety — in which the open-mid vowels become close-mid — is commonly found in most Southern African Bantu languages (where the ...
The Africa Alphabet (also International African Alphabet or IAI alphabet) is a set of letters designed as the basis for Latin alphabets for the languages of Africa.It was initially developed in 1928 by the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures from a combination of the English alphabet and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
STRUT is a highly variable vowel, which varies from a centralized (mostly in word-list style) to an open central . The PAP vowel /a/, a non-native open central vowel that appears mostly in loanwords from Afrikaans overlaps with the openest allophones of STRUT. For speakers that have as a norm for STRUT, PAP is not a distinct class.
