Help:IPA/Macedonian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 46.188.144.125 (talk) at 18:10, 5 April 2023 (It makes more sense to use a word which is a full noun in the standard language, and not a foreign name which is the name of a unit of measurement.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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

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