The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Spanish language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.
In general, Castilian Spanish is used in IPA transcriptions. Deviations from this may occur in words with /θ/, /ʎ/ and /x/:
- For terms that are more relevant to regions that have undergone yeísmo (so that, for example, hoya and holla are pronounced the same), words spelled with সাঁচ:Angle bracket can be transcribed with [ʝ]
- For terms that are more relevant to regions with seseo, (so that, for example, caza and casa are pronounced the same), words spelled with সাঁচ:Angle bracket and with soft সাঁচ:Angle bracket (i.e. where সাঁচ:Angle bracket occurs before সাঁচ:Angle bracket or সাঁচ:Angle bracket) can be transcribed with [s]
- In South Spain, Canarias and Caribbean countries, the phoneme [x] (সাঁচ:Angbr, soft সাঁচ:Angbr) is often realized as [h]
