The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Serbo-Croatian (i.e. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin standards thereof) pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.

English approximations are in some cases very loose, and only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation. See Serbo-Croatian phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds.

IPA Dict. Examples explanation
Tone and vowel length
Tonic marks are not part of the orthography, but are found in dictionaries[1]
e e sekunda non-tonic short vowel
eː ē livel non-tonic long vowel
ě è ekran short vowel with rising tone
ěː é kreda long vowel with rising tone
ê ȅ efikasan short vowel with falling tone
êː ȇ ep long vowel with falling tone

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Tone marks can also be found on syllabic consonants, such as [ř̩] and [r̩̂ː]. Some articles may use the stress mark, [ˈe], which could correspond to either of the tonic accents, rising or falling, and are therefore not a complete description.
