Help:IPA/Georgian
< Help:IPA
(Redirected from Help:IPA for Georgian) | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Georgian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Georgian 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 Georgian 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 Georgian phonology for a more thorough discussion of the sounds of Georgian.

Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c In word-final position, /b, d, g/ may be devoiced to [pʰ tʰ kʰ].
- ^ /v/ is realized as [ʷ] after a consonant.
- ^ a b c d e f The ejectives have no equivalent in English. The way that ejectives are sounded is by building up pressure in your throat, like when you sneeze, and then release the built-up air as you articulate the consonant where you normally would. So, /t'/ and /t/ are articulated in the same place but the difference is whether you build up pressure or not.
- ^ /l/ has two allophones, velarized [ɫ] before back vowels /ɑ, ɔ, u,/ and plain [l] before front vowels /i, ɛ,/
- ^ Often realized as an alveolar tap [ɾ].
- ^ [χʼ] is commonly phonemicized as /qʼ/.
- ^ [f~ɸ] are allophones of /v/ before voiceless consonants.
- ^ In Georgian, word stress falls on the first syllable of a word [1][2]
