Wikipedia key to pronunciation of Berber From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Berber languages 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.

In the interest of pan-Berber legibility, the Berber Latin alphabet omits the partly phonemic contrast found in some Berber varieties (notably Kabyle and Tarifit) between stops and fricatives.
