The charts below show how the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Egyptian Arabic pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

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

The romanization of the examples is the commonly used form in Egypt.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The classicized consonant [q] only occurs in Classical Arabic borrowings and proper nouns.
  • ^ The rhotic consonant is in free variation between a flap [ɾ] and a trill [r].
  • ^ The phonemes /p/, /v/, and /ʒ/ are only found in loanwords and they can be pronounced as /b/, /f/, and /ʃ/ respectively depending on the speaker.
  • ^ a b [ɪ~e] and [i] are allophones of the phoneme /i/. Word initial and medial /i/ in stressed syllables typically varies across [ɪ~e], but it is strictly [i] at the end of words, in unstressed syllables.
  • ^ a b [ʊ~o] and [u] are allophones of the phoneme /u/. Word initial and medial /u/ in stressed syllables typically varies across [ʊ~o], but it varies [u~ʊ~o] in final positions.
