The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Portuguese language pronunciations in Simple Wikipedia articles.
This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Portuguese on Wiki Simple English. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Portuguese 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. Some keys are built on consensus more strongly than others; if the conventions of this key are already in wide use, any substantive change to it should be discussed on the talk page first as it would affect a large number of articles. |
For a guide to adding IPA characters to Simple Wikipedia articles, see {{IPA-pt}}, {{IPAc-pt}} and Wiki: Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
Distinction is made between the two major standards of the language—Portugal (European Portuguese, EP; broadly the standard also used in Africa and Asia) and Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese, BP). Neither variant is preferred at Wikipedia, except in cases where a local pronunciation is clearly more relevant, such as a place in Brazil or an individual from Portugal.
National variant differences should be noted with discretion. When there are differing dialectal Brazilian Portuguese pronunciations, the one closest to European Portuguese should generally be preferred, as this guide is intended to help native speakers of other languages.
See Portuguese phonology for a extensive look at the sounds of Portuguese.
