The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Polish language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:Tl, Template:Tl, and Template:Section link.

Explanatory notes
<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />
- ↑ All voiced obstruents Script error: No such module "IPA". are devoiced to Script error: No such module "IPA". respectively at the ends of words and in clusters ending in any unvoiced obstruents. Voiceless obstruents are voiced (Script error: No such module "IPA". becoming Template:IPAblink, etc.) in clusters ending in any voiced obstruent except Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". (when spelled with rz), which are then themselves devoiced.
- ↑ a b c d e f g h i j The letter Template:Angbr, when it is followed by a vowel, represents a pronunciation like a Template:Angbr or a "soft" pronunciation of the preceding consonant (so Script error: No such module "Lang". is pronounced as if it were spelt *pjes). It has the same effect as an acute accent on alveolar consonants (Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr) so Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as if they were spelt *śę, *ćos, *ńańa. A following Template:Angbr also softens consonants when it is itself pronounced as a vowel: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as if they were spelled *źima, *ći, *dźiśaj. The phonemes represented by Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr and Template:Angbr are most often analyzed as soft (i.e. palatalized) before Template:Angbr and Template:Angbr and as hard (i.e. followed by a full Script error: No such module "IPA".) before Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr.
- ↑ a b c d e f Polish contrasts affricates Script error: No such module "IPA". with stop–fricative clusters: for example, Template:Wikt-lang Template:Error-smallTemplate:Category handlerTemplate:Category handler "clean" versus Template:Wikt-lang Template:Error-smallTemplate:Category handlerTemplate:Category handler "three hundred".
- ↑ a b c d e f Polish makes a distinction between retroflex and alveolo-palatal consonants, both of which sound roughly like the English postalveolars Script error: No such module "IPA".. The retroflex sounds are pronounced "hard", with the tip of the tongue approaching the alveolar ridge and the blade of the tongue somewhat lowered, and the alveolo-palatal sounds are "soft", realized with the middle of the tongue raised, adding a bit of an Template:Angbr sound to them.
- ↑ Allophone of Script error: No such module "IPA". before fricatives.
- ↑ a b c d e f The letters Template:Angbr and Template:Angbr represent the nasal vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". except when they are followed by a stop or affricate, in which case they represent oral vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". followed by a nasal consonant homorganic with the following stop or affricate: Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA". (as if spelled *kont, *gemba, *renka, *piszoncy, *pieńondze, *pieńć, *jenczy).
- ↑ Allophone of Script error: No such module "IPA". before a velar Script error: No such module "IPA". in some cases.
Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
