Template:IPA key The charts below show how the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Greek pronunciations in Wikipedia articles, separated into Ancient Greek (AG) and Modern Greek (MG). The Ancient Greek pronunciation presented here is a reconstruction of the Attic dialect in the 5th century BC. For alternative Ancient Greek dialects, such as Doric, Aeolic, or Koine Greek, please use |generic=yes. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

See Ancient Greek phonology and Modern Greek phonology for a more thorough look at their sounds.

Notes

Page Template:Reflist/styles.css has no content.

  1. ^ a b Ancient Greek had geminate consonants, pronounced longer than single ones, which may be transcribed by a double consonant letter Template:Angbr IPA or the length symbol Template:Angbr IPA. Modern Standard Greek does not have geminate consonants, but some nonstandard dialects do.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h In Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as palatal Script error: No such module "IPA". before the front vowels Script error: No such module "IPA"., and velar Script error: No such module "IPA". in other cases.
  3. ^ a b c d Script error: No such module "Lang". represented the cluster Script error: No such module "IPA". in Classical Attic, but it represents Script error: No such module "IPA". in Modern Greek. In both Ancient and Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". is pronounced as voiced Script error: No such module "IPA". before a voiced consonant.
  4. ^ a b c In Ancient Greek, a diphthong before a vowel was realised as a vowel and a double semivowel sequence: Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  5. ^ a b c d In Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as prenasalised voiced stops Script error: No such module "IPA". or voiced stops without nasalisation Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  6. ^ a b c In Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang"., in Script error: No such module "Lang"., is pronounced as Script error: No such module "IPA". before a voiceless consonant or at the end of the word and Script error: No such module "IPA". otherwise. In Ancient Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". were diphthongs Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  7. ^ The rough breathing Script error: No such module "Lang". represented Script error: No such module "IPA". before a vowel, and the smooth breathing Script error: No such module "Lang". represented the absence of Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  8. ^ In Modern Greek, it is typically a tap [ɾ̠], but may be an alveolar approximant [ɹ] between vowels, like English r, and is usually a trill [r] in clusters, trilled r like in Spanish, with two or three short cycles Template:Harvcol.
  9. ^ a b c d e f g h i j In Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". all represent Script error: No such module "IPA"., but they were pronounced Script error: No such module "IPA". in Ancient Greek. The large number of vowel mergers into Script error: No such module "IPA". is called iotacism.
  10. ^ a b c d In Modern Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". represent Script error: No such module "IPA"., and Script error: No such module "Lang". represent Script error: No such module "IPA".. In Ancient Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". represented Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". represented Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "Lang". represented the diphthong Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  11. ^ In archaic and some dialectal Greek ⟨ει⟩ represented the true diphthong Script error: No such module "IPA". but in inter alia Attic Greek, Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". later merged into the latter hence ⟨ει⟩ is a spurious diphthong, i.e. it actually represents the monophthong Script error: No such module "IPA"..
  12. ^ Also ⟨άι⟩ and sometimes ⟨άϊ⟩.
  13. ^ Also ⟨εϊ⟩ and sometimes ⟨έϊ⟩.
  14. ^ Also ⟨οϊ⟩ and sometimes ⟨όϊ⟩.
  15. ^ a b c In early Ancient Greek, Script error: No such module "Lang". were diphthongs, but the second element Script error: No such module "IPA". was lost soon after the Classical period, and they merged with Script error: No such module "Lang"..
  16. ^ The symbols used here for Ancient Greek pitch accent must be added as combining characters in some cases. Place the numeric character reference after the letter that on which the accent is to be put, press "Show preview" and copy the resulting accented character. ́ is the numeric character reference for combining acute tone mark (high tone), ̌ for combining caron (rising tone), ̂ for combining circumflex (falling tone).
