Short description: Wikipedia key to pronunciation
 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Lithuanian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Lithuanian 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. |
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Lithuanian language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see {{IPA-lt}} and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
See Lithuanian phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Lithuanian.

Notes
- ↑ Lithuanian makes contrasts between palatalized and unpalatalized consonants. Palatalized consonants are denoted by [ʲ] and are pronounced with the body of the tongue raised toward the hard palate, like the articulation of the y sound in yes.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 Phonemes /f/, /fʲ/, /ɣ/, /ɣʲ/, /x/, /xʲ/, and /ɔ/ occur only in loanwords.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 [ŋ] and [ŋʲ] are allophones of /n/ and /nʲ/, respectively, before velar consonants.
