This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Norwegian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Norwegian in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
The letter Å (å in lower case) represents various (although often similar) sounds in several languages. It is a separate letter in Danish , Swedish , Norwegian , Finnish , North Frisian , Low Saxon , Transylvanian Saxon , Walloon , Chamorro , Lule Sami , Pite Sami , Skolt Sami , Southern Sami , Ume Sami , Pamirian languages, and Greenlandic ...
