 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Telugu on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Telugu 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. |
Charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Telugu 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.

Notes
[edit]- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Telugu contrasts dental [t] and [d] with retroflex [ʈ] and [ɖ] (as well as aspirated variants). Both sets sound like /t/ and /d/ to most English speakers although the dental [t] and [d] are used in place of the English /θ/ and /ð/ for some speakers with th-stopping.
- ↑ The alveolar trill [r] may occur as an allophone of either [ɻ] or [d] in some positions.
- ↑ Absent in modern Telugu.
- ↑ Closer to cut in most North American, Australian and New Zealand accents.
