IPA chart for Tagalog
June 26, 2008In this post, I’ll give you the IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) Chart for Tagalog. That is what are the sounds to pronounce in Tagalog. It’s pretty simple and easy, especially if you’re Spanish or Italian. The chart’s below. This chart utilises IPA symbols which may not be viewed properly in old computers and browsers.
| IPA symbol | Pronunciation | Examples | Notes |
| a | most open “a” sound possible | Spanish casa | only available in some dialects of English, mostly present in Spanish and Italian |
| ɐ | like a but not as open | English nut | only available in some dialects of English; although not as easy to find in world languages, it is easy to pronounce |
| b | normal English b | English boy | very easy to pronounce |
| ɕ | try to pronounce siya fastly and withouth making an “sh” sound | Tagalog siya; the same word in the latter cell | not available in English, and is fastly disappearing in contemporary Tagalog |
| d | normal English d | English did | found in almost all major languages |
| d͡ʒ | normal English j | English joy | common in foreign-derived terms but also found in native terms; common in informal Tagalog |
| e | e which is pronounced with the somehow mouth half closed | English play | available in most languages |
| ə | somehow like a blend of e and a | English above | only available in some dialects of Tagalog |
| ɛ | pronouncing e with an open mouth | English bet | standard pronunciation of the letter “e” in Tagalog |
| g | English g | English guy | found in most languages |
| h | normal h sound | English hills | |
| ʰ | h | used to indicate words which are pronounced with a bit more air on it | |
| i | i with the teeth almost closed | English see; not the “i” in sit. | standard pronunciation of the letter “i” in Tagalog |
| ɪ | normal English i | English sit; English bay | standard pronunciation of the trailing “y” in Tagalog |
| j | y | English yes; not the “y” in sanity. | very easy |
| k | k | English kill | very easy |
| l | standard English l made with the tip of the tongue touching the upper teeth | English leaf | standard pronunciation of “l” |
| ɭ | like standard English l but the tip of the tongue is a bit curled while touching the hard palette, the roof of the mouth | not used in English | pronunciation of “l” in some words |
| m | standard m used in most European languages | English mall | very easy |
| n | standard n used in most European languages | English no | very easy |
| ŋ | the ng sound | English king | very common in Tagalog, and many might find difficulty pronouncing it specially when it’s the leading sound |
| ɲ | made by combining n and y | English onion; Spanish año | mostly used with Spanish derived terms in Tagalog |
| o | the o sound found in French, Spanish and Italian | English caught | the standard pronunciation of “o” in Tagalog, and many Anglophones may mispronounce this due to regional accents |
| r | not the standard English r, but r with multiple trills (vibrations of the tongue) | Spanish perro | Anglophones might pronounce this wrong most of the times due to its absence in general English pronunciations |
| ɾ | like r but only with one trill, called the tap | Spanish pero | again Anglophones might mispronounce this as well |
| s | standard s sound | English snake | very easy |
| ʃ | the sh sound | English shout | this pronunciation is increasingly replacing ɕ in Tagalog pronunciation due to English influences; mostly used by the younger generations |
| t | the t sound made with the contact of the tongue and the upper teeth | English tell | very easy |
| t͡ɕ | the tsy sound | Chinese Pinyin Xiamen(厦门) | common pronounciation of English “ch” in Tagalog, like ts; quite hard for Anglophones |
| t͡s | the ts sound | English cats | many might find difficulty pronouncing it if it’s the leading sound. This is actually a mispronunciation itself, by the Tagalogs, of the ch sound due to its absence in the Tagalog language; used, although quite rarely, in foreign derived terms. |
| t͡ʃ | the ch sound | English catch | very easy; used only in foreign derived terms |
| ʊ | standard English pronunciation of “u” | English book; English bow | used as a pronunciation of the trailing Tagalog “w” |
| ʉ̞ | the hard u sound; made by rounding your lips, and pronouncing the e (almost i-ish sound) in roses with your mouth slighty more open | rarely used in English | prone to mispronunciation, especially from Anglophones; this is not the same as the “u” in put and “oo” in cool |
| w | the standard English “w” | English way | very easy |
| ʔ | the glottal stop | English the stopping sound in uh-oh | can be quite hard to pronounce |
