Explanation
|
| ˈ
|
Primary stress (placed before the stressed syllable):
tayô [taˈjoʔ] 'to stand', táyo [ˈtajo] 'we'
|
|
Notes
- ^ /a/ is relaxed to [ɐ] in unstressed positions and also occasionally in stressed positions (inang bayan [iˈnɐŋ ˈbɐjən]).
- ^ /i/ is pronounced [ɪ] in unstressed initial and medial syllables. See Tagalog phonology#Vowels and semivowels.
