Help:IPA for Portuguese

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Portuguese pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.

See Portuguese phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Portuguese.

Key for European and Brazilian Portuguese
Distinction is noted between the two major standards—that of Portugal (EP) and of Brazil (BP). Neither variant is preferred over the other at Wikipedia, except in cases where a local pronunciation is clearly more relevant, such as a place in Brazil or a Portuguese artist.

National variant differences should be noted with discretion: when there are differing dialectal Brazilian Portuguese pronunciations from differing patterns of vowel reduction, the one closest to the European Portuguese should generally be preferred, as this guideline is intended to help native speakers of other languages. The opposing Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation tends to be the more phonetically written one.
