Short description: Wikipedia key to pronunciation
 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Ligurian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Ligurian 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 its value without establishing consensus on the talk page first. |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Consonant and semivowel lengthening (optionally occurring in paroxytones after stressed short vowels, for semivowels only if also followed by a vowel) is represented in IPA by either doubling the consonant or through the ⟨ˑ⟩ marker (e.g. euggio [ˈøddʒu]/[ˈødˑʒu]).
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 The latter realizations are most common in peripheric areas, such as Ventimiglia or southern Piedmont. In particular [ʃ] and [ʒ] are occurrences of /s/ and /z/ before consonants In the Tabarchino dialect of Carloforte.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 As in most Northern Italian languages, Ligurian nasals never assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant, differently from what happens in standard Italian. [ŋ] is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters, and it may only contrast with /n/ before vowels (e.g. pénn-a /ˈpeŋa/ 'sorrow' vs pénna /ˈpena/ 'quill').
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 All vowels can occur either in stressed or unstressed position, except short /ɛ/ which is always stressed.
