Help:IPA/Berber

Template:IPA key 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 Template:Section link.

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.
