The chart below shows how the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Norwegian language 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.

This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Norwegian on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Norwegian 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 value without establishing consensus on the talk page first. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.

The accent that has been used here as a model is Urban East Norwegian, the typical pronunciation of one of the sociolects spoken in the Oslo region and most commonly taught to foreigners. There is no official standard Norwegian pronunciation. Various dialects and sociolects labelled 'Urban East Norwegian' have each their own uniqueness in regards to pronunciation which deviates slightly from this model.
