 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Icelandic on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Icelandic 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. |
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Icelandic language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
See Icelandic phonology and Icelandic orthography § Function of symbols for a more thorough look at the sounds of Icelandic.

Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c d e f g h Several sounds may be represented by graphical ⟨f⟩ ⟨p⟩ and ⟨g⟩, which alternate for historical reasons based on phonological environement, paradigms and derivation may thus seem more opaque, e.g. [sɛijɪ], [saxt], [saɣðɪ], [sakna] all from ⟨sagja⟩.
- ^ a b c d e f g h Aspirated stops devoice preceding consonnants but are pronounced unaspirated other than word initially. However, some Northern dialects do keep them aspirated in nearly all position. Compare flauta //ˈflœy.tʰa//, ⓘ/ ⓘ.
- ^ a b c d In connected speech final voiced consonants keep their voicing, even before voiceless sounds. Whilst utterance finally, they are devoiced (exept nasals).
- ^ Hver is usually pronounced as if spelled kver. [xʷ] is a part of a dialect from the Southern Region and is rare nowadays. Compare with hvass : ⓘ or ⓘ
- ^ Vowels are usually long if they are stressed and followed by no more than one consonant, double consonants counting as more than one. Vowel length is not phonemic.
- ^ a b c Long [ɛː, ɔː, œː] are most typically realized as smooth transitions from [ɪ, ʊ, ʏ] to [ɛː, ɔː, œː]. Thus, they are monophthongs phonologically and diphthongs phonetically (Árnason 2011:60, Gussmann 2011:71, 88).
