The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Slovene pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.
English approximations are in some cases very loose and are intended to give only a general idea of the pronunciation. See Slovene phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Slovene.

Notes[edit]
- ^ a b c [dz, ɣ, v] are allophones of /ts, x, f/ that occur before voiced consonants (Herrity (2000:16)).
- ^ a b c Orthographic sequences ⟨lj, nj, rj⟩ are pronounced /lj, nj, rj/ only if a vowel follows; otherwise, the /j/ is not pronounced. For ⟨rj⟩, it is reflected in the orthography, but for ⟨lj, nj⟩ it is not.
- ^ [ŋ] is an allophone of /n/ before /k, g, x/ (Pretnar & Tokarz (1980:21), Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
- ^ In Standard Slovene, [w] is an allophone of /v/ (also /l/ in some cases) before consonants and pauses (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136)).
- ^ Some scholars have found that vowel length in Standard Slovene is no longer distinctive, (Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:136), Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Srebot-Rejec (1988)) and the only differences in vowel length are that the stressed vowels are longer than the unstressed ones,(Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF)., Šuštaršič, Komar & Petek (1999:137)) with stressed open syllables longer than stressed closed syllables (Tatjana Srebot-Rejec. "On the vowel system in present-day Slovene" (PDF).).
- ^ Tonic marks are not part of the orthography but are found in dictionaries such as "Slovenski pravopis 2001". Tone marks can also be found on ⟨r⟩, which signifies the sequence /ər/.
- ^ a b Wherever possible, one should transcribe Slovene with both tonic and stress marks. If the correct tones are unknown, it is acceptable to put only a stress-based transcription.
- ^ Central Styrian dialect for standard Slovene grunt 'large farm'.
- ^ In the standard dialect, /ǿ/ and /ý/ only appear in loanwords. Words with these sounds are often pronounced with /ɛ́/ and /í/, respectively.
