Key for Eastern and Western Catalan
Two Catalan varieties are covered here: Standard Catalan (C)—based in Central Catalonia, encompassing most Eastern Catalan features—and Standard Valencian (V)—based in Southern Valencia, encompassing most Western Catalan features. Standard Catalan is preferred on Wikipedia because it is the most prestigious and neutral variety. However, wherever clearly more relevant (for instance, in the case of a Valencian artist), Standard Valencian pronunciation should be transcribed instead.

See Catalan phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Catalan, and Catalan orthography for the correspondence between spelling and pronunciation.
