Template:IPA key
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Japanese language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Template:Section link.
Examples in the charts are Japanese words transliterated according to the Hepburn romanization system.
See Japanese phonology for a more thorough discussion of the sounds of Japanese.

Notes

- ↑ The utterance-final nasal is traditionally described as uvular Template:IPAblink, but instrumental studies have found that this is inaccurate and the actual realization varies Template:Harvcol. However, an alternative transcription has yet to be established, so Template:Angbr IPA is used.
