The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Polish language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:Tl, Template:Tl, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.
See Polish phonology and Polish alphabet for a more thorough look at the sounds of Polish.

- ^ All voiced obstruents Script error: No such module "IPA". are devoiced to Script error: No such module "IPA". respectively at the ends of words and in clusters ending in any unvoiced obstruents. Voiceless obstruents are voiced (Script error: No such module "IPA". becoming [ɣ], etc.) in clusters ending in any voiced obstruent except Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA". (when spelled with rz), which are then themselves devoiced.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j The letter ⟨i⟩, when it is followed by a vowel, represents a pronunciation like a ⟨j⟩ or a "soft" pronunciation of the preceding consonant (so Script error: No such module "Lang". is pronounced as if it were spelt *pjes). It has the same effect as an acute accent on alveolar consonants (⟨s⟩, ⟨z⟩, ⟨c⟩, ⟨dz⟩, ⟨n⟩) so Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as if they were spelt *śę, *ćos, *ńańa. A following ⟨i⟩ also softens consonants when it is itself pronounced as a vowel: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". are pronounced as if they were spelled *źima, *ći, *dźiśaj. The phonemes represented by ⟨(c)h⟩, ⟨g⟩ and ⟨k⟩ are most often analyzed as soft (i.e. palatalized) before ⟨i⟩ and ⟨ie⟩ and as hard (i.e. followed by a full Script error: No such module "IPA".) before ⟨ia⟩, ⟨io⟩, ⟨iu⟩.
- ^ a b c d e f Polish contrasts affricates Script error: No such module "IPA". with stop–fricative clusters: for example, Template:Wikt-lang Template:Error-small "clean" versus Template:Wikt-lang Template:Error-small "three hundred".
- ^ a b c d e f Polish makes a distinction between retroflex and alveolo-palatal consonants, both of which sound roughly like the English postalveolars Script error: No such module "IPA".. The retroflex sounds are pronounced "hard", with the tip of the tongue approaching the alveolar ridge and the blade of the tongue somewhat lowered, and the alveolo-palatal sounds are "soft", realized with the middle of the tongue raised, adding a bit of an ⟨ee⟩ sound to them.
- ^ Allophone of Script error: No such module "IPA". before fricatives.
- ^ a b c d e f The letters ⟨ą⟩ and ⟨ę⟩ represent the nasal vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". except when they are followed by a stop or affricate, in which case they represent oral vowels Script error: No such module "IPA". followed by a nasal consonant homorganic with the following stop or affricate: Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "IPA". (as if spelled *kont, *gemba, *renka, *piszoncy, *pieńondze, *pieńć, *jenczy).
- ^ Allophone of Script error: No such module "IPA". before a velar Script error: No such module "IPA". in some cases.
