ipa/Tunisian Arabic
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Tunisian Arabic pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.
 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Tunisian Arabic on Wiki English. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Tunisian Arabic 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. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters. |
For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wiki: Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
