Short description: Wikipedia key to pronunciation
 | This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Piedmontese on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Piedmontese 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 how the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Piedmontese language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see {{IPA-pms}} and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Piedmontese generally lacks contrastive consonant length, and double graphemes are normally used for orthographic purposes (e.g. ⟨cc⟩, ⟨gg⟩, ⟨nn⟩, ⟨ss⟩). However, when they don't carry such diacritical use, they represent geminated consonants.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 A plain ⟨n⟩ normally represents /n/ before a vowel and /ŋ/ elsewhere. When it is not the case, ⟨nn⟩ is used for /n/ and ⟨n-⟩ for /ŋ/ to avoid confusion.
- ↑ ⟨s⟩ is always voiced [z] immediately before a voiced or nasal consonant and, when not doubled, between (semi)vowels or word-finally.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 /ɛ/, /ɔ/, /ø/ and [ɑ] only occur in stressed position, the latter the stressed allophone of /a/ in most dialects.
