Help:IPA/Assamese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Kbb2 (talk | contribs) at 23:10, 18 July 2018 (this is a much better approximation - "off" has /ɔ/ ([ɔ ~ ɒ]) in the US and /ɒ/ ([ɒ ~ ɔ]) in RP and a very similar vowel in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland). 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 Assamese pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.

English approximations are in some cases very loose, and only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation.
