It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Finnish in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishing consensus on the talk page first.
^Most Finnish consonants usually contrast between shorter and longer pronunciation. Long consonants are marked with the symbol /ː/.
^ abcdefghijkl[b], [f], [ɡ], [ts], [ʃ] and [ʒ] occur only in loanwords. In casual speech, they may be replaced [b] >[p], [f] > [v], [g] > [k], [ts] > [(t)s], [ʃ] and [ʒ] > [s].
^ ab/n/ has three allophones: [ŋ] before /k/, [m] before /p/ – only in the middle of a singular word, not at connection points of compound words – and [n] elsewhere.
^All Finnish vowels have both a long and a short phoneme.
