Help:IPA/Kazakh

This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Kazakh on Wikipedia.

It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Kazakh 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.

For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.
