IPA pronunciation guide for Japanese vowels edit

Japanese has 5 vowels:

Hiragana IPA Notes
あ [a̠] This is a low central vowel, it is between the English a in "father" and the English a in "dad".
い [i] This sounds like the English ee in "feet."
う [ü͍] listenⓘ This is a somewhat centralized close back compressed vowel, pronounced with the lips compressed toward each other but neither rounded like [u] nor spread to the sides like [ɯ]. Note, however, that there is no IPA symbol for lip compression, and the combination of round vowel with spread diacritic "[u͍]" is an ad hoc transcription.
え [e̞] The e sounds to English speakers like a mix between short e in as in "bed," and long e as in "lay," though it is closer to the former than the latter.
お [o̞] listenⓘ This is a pure o, unlike the English one, which is a diphthong. The tongue is kept lowered while pronouncing the Japanese o, and the lips are mostly kept from moving.

IPA pronunciation guide for Japanese consonants edit

Note that this table does not cover the consonants /g/, /d/, /z/, /b/, or /p/. Please see below for other details.

Hiragana IPA Notes
か,き,く,け,こ [ka], [ki], [ku͍], [ke̞], [ko̞] This is a voiceless stop. It is slightly aspirated: less aspirated than English stops, but more so than Spanish.
さ,す,せ,そ [sa], [su͍], [se], [so] This is a laminal alveolar sound.
し [ɕi] This is an alveolo-palatal sound.
た,て,と [ta], [te], [to] This is a voiceless stop, it is slightly aspirated: less aspirated than English stops, but more so than Spanish. This sound is laminal denti-alveolar (that is, the blade of the tongue contacts the back of the upper teeth and the front part of the alveolar ridge)
ち [t̠͡ɕi]
つ [t͡su͍]
な,ぬ,ね,の [na], [nu͍], [ne], [no]
に [ɲi]
は,へ,ほ [ha], [he], [ho]
ひ [çi]
ふ [ɸu͍]
ま,み,む,め,も [ma], [mi], [mu͍], [me], [mo]
や,ゆ,よ [ja], [ju͍], [jo]
る,ろ [ɺu͍], [ɺo] The flap tends to be lateral before back vowels, especially [o]
り,れ [ɾi], [ɾe] The flap tends to be central before front vowels, especially [i]
ら [ɺa] ~ [ɾa] The flap tends to be especially ambiguous as to centrality before [a]
わ [ɰ͡β̞a] Pronounced with compressed rather than rounded lips. The kana ゐゑを wi we wo are pronounced as vowels, [i], [e], [o]
ん [n] Before [d], [n], or [t]. This sound is laminal denti-alveolar (that is, the blade of the tongue contacts the back of the upper teeth and the front part of the alveolar ridge)
[m] before [b], [p] or [m].
[ŋ] Before [k], [ɡ], or [ŋ].
[ũ͍] Between [a] and [o] or before [s].
[ĩ] Between [i] and [o].
[ɴ] At the end of an utterance.

  6. ^ Pronounced [d̪] in some varieties of Irish and merges with /v/ in some varieties of English English.
  7. ^ Marginal elsewhere.
  8. ^ In some dialects (e.g. Brummie) "ringer", "sing" etc are pronounced with an additional /ɡ/, like "finger": /ˈɹɪŋɡə/ rather than /ˈɹɪŋə/
  9. ^ [ɫ] does not occur in Irish English, and [l] does not occur in Australian or Scottish English.
  10. ^ The tap [ɾ] is found in some varieties of Scottish and Irish.
  11. ^ Some dialects, such as Scottish, Irish, and much of the American South; see whine and wine and voiceless labiovelar approximant

  14. ^ Often transcribed /e/ for RP, for example in Collins English Dictionary.
  15. ^ Sometimes transcribed for GA as [əɹ], especially in transcriptions that represent both rhotic and non-rhotic pronunciations, as [ə(ɹ)].

  18. ^ a b c d e f g Voiced obstruents (/b/, /bʲ/, /d/, /dʲ/ /ɡ/, /v/, /vʲ/, /z/, /zʲ/, /ʐ/, and /ʑʑ/) are devoiced word-finally unless the next word begins with a voiced obstruent (Halle 1959:22).
  19. ^ The "soft" vowel letters <е> <ю> and <я> represent a /j/ plus a vowel when initial or following other vowels or a yer. When such vowels are unstressed, the /j/ may be deleted.
  20. ^ /l/ is often strongly pharyngealized but this feature is nondistinctive (Ladefoged & Maddieson 1996:187-188).
  21. ^ Intervocalic <г> can represent /v/ in certain words and affixes
  22. ^ a b When /ɡ/ loses its voicing, it is also lenited
