Help:IPA/Hungarian - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Hungarian on Wikipedia.

It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Hungarian in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishing consensus on the talk page first.

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Hungarian language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see {{IPA}}, {{IPAc-hu}}, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

See Hungarian phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Hungarian.
