Help:IPA/Dutch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from H:IPAD)

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Dutch pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

See Dutch phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Dutch as well as dialectal variations not represented here.

Most audios are from three different speakers : NL1ⓘ has a Randstadian accent (Utrecht, Netherlands) , NL2ⓘ speaks in a fairly conservative standard accent (Zwaag, Netherlands) and BE1ⓘ is from the Brabantine region (Antwerp, Belgium).

Notes

[edit]
  1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Generally, the southern varieties preserve the /f/–/v/, /x/–/ɣ/ and /s/–/z/ contrasts.[1][2] Southern /x/, /ɣ/ may be also somewhat more front, i.e. post-palatal ([ˈneː.ʝ̠ə]ⓘ).[2] In the north, these are far less stable: most speakers merge /x/ and /ɣ/ into a post-velar [x̠] ([ɑx̠]ⓘ) or uvular [χ] ([ɑχt]ⓘ);[1][2] most Netherlandic Standard Dutch speakers lack a consistent /f/–/v/ contrast.[2] In some accents, e.g. Amsterdam, /s/ and /z/ are also not distinguished.[2] /zj/ [ʑ] and /dj/ [dʑ] often join this neutralization by merging with /sj/ [ɕ], /tj/ [tɕ].[3] In some accents, /ɦ/ is also devoiced to [h]. See also Hard and soft G in Dutch.
  2. 1 2 3 4 5 /n/ assimilates to the place of articulation of the following consonant: before bilabials, it is [m] (merging with /m/), before labiodentals, it is [ɱ] (also merging with /m/, which is labiodental in this position), before palatals, it is [ɲ] (merging with /nj/), whereas before velars, it is [ŋ] (merging with /ŋ/). In phrases, /n/ alone is affected, as in in Parijs [ɪm paːˈrɛis] 'in Paris', whereas /m/ stays bilabial even before labiodentals.[4][5]
  3. 1 2 3 Dutch devoices all obstruents at the ends of words (e.g. a final /d/ becomes [t]). This is partly reflected in the spelling: the voiced ‹z› in plural huizen ('houses') becomes huis ('house') in singular, and duiven ('doves') becomes duif ('dove'). The other cases are always written with the voiced consonant, even though a devoiced one is actually pronounced: the voiced ‹d› in plural baarden [ˈbaːrdə(n)] ('beards') is retained in the singular spelling baard ('beard'), but pronounced as /baːrt/; and plural ribben /ˈrɪbə(n)/ ('ribs') has singular rib, pronounced as [rɪp]. Because of assimilation, often the initial consonant of the next word is also devoiced, e.g. het vee ('the cattle') is [ɦət ˈfeː]
  4. 1 2 The realization of the /r/ phoneme varies considerably from dialect to dialect. In "standard" Dutch, /r/ is realized as coronal rhotics [r~ɾ~r̝̊] or various post-velar continuants regrouped under the uvular trill [ʀ]. In the syllable coda, a velar bunched approximant [ɹ̈] is very common in the Netherlands,[6] e.g. Nederlanders ('Dutchmen') [ˈneɪ.dəɹ̈ˌlɑn.dəɹθ̠]ⓘ.
  5. ↑ The realization of the /ʋ/ phoneme varies considerably from dialect to dialect. In the north of the Netherlands, it is a labiodental approximant [ʋ], or even a voiced labiodental fricative [v]. In the south of the Netherlands and in Belgium, it is pronounced as a bilabial approximant [β̞], and Standard Surinamese Dutch uses the labiovelar approximant [w].[7][8]
  6. 1 2 3 4 5 The alveolo-palatal affricates [tɕ] and [dʑ], the fricatives [ɕ] and [ʑ], and the nasal [ɲ] are allophones of the sequences /tj/, /dj/, /sj/, /zj/ and /nj/. [ɲ] also occurs as an allophone of /n/ before /tj/ (realized as [tɕ]).[9] [dʑ] and [ʑ] occur only in loanwords.[3]
  7. ↑ /ɡ/ is not a native phoneme of Dutch and only occurs in loanwords where it can be replaced with /k, ɣ/, like goal. It also appears with the assimilation of /k/,[10] like in dikbekfuut [ˈdɪɡbɛkˌfyt]ⓘ.
  8. ↑ The glottal stop [ʔ] is indicated sparingly in Dutch transcriptions on Wikipedia: it is mandatorily inserted between [aː] and [ə] and a syllable-initial vowel, both within words and at word boundaries.[11] Often, it is also inserted before phrase-initial vowels or before any word-initial vowel.[12] This is not indicated in most of our transcriptions.
  9. ↑ After the schwa, the final /n/ is frequently elided, so that maken is often pronounced [ˈmaːkə], especially in non-prevocalic environments. The nasal may be retained before vowels, yielding a linking /n/. An intrusive /n/ may also occur, as in the phrase red je 't? [ˈrɛtɕənət]. In stems ending in /ən/ (such as teken [ˈteːkən] 'I draw') and in the indefinite article een /ən/ the nasal is always retained, except when it is degeminated, but when an additional /ən/ is added to the stem (yielding the infinitive form or the present tense plural form), it behaves regularly, as in tekenen [ˈteːkənə(n)] 'to draw' or 'we/you/they draw'. Furthermore, an epenthetic schwa can be inserted between /l/ or /r/ and /m, p, k, f, x/ (in the case of /r/ alone also /n/) within the same morpheme. This is found in all types of Dutch, standard or otherwise. However, in Standard Dutch, it is limited to non-prevocalic clusters. In dialects, it can be generalized to all environments and it can also apply to the sequence /rɣ/, so that morgen 'morning', pronounced [ˈmɔrɣə(n)] in Standard Dutch, is pronounced [ˈmɔrəɣə(n)].[13]
  10. 1 2 The "checked" vowels /ɑ/, /ɛ/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, and /ʏ/ occur only in historically closed syllables, while their "free" counterparts /aː/, /eː/, /i/, /oː/, and /y/, as well as the other vowels, can occur in both open and closed syllables.
  11. ↑ Brabantian which distinguishes non-mid vowels primarly by length,[citation needed] has a central [ä] where standard has a rather back one.[14][15]
  12. 1 2 3 4 5 For most speakers of Netherlandic Standard Dutch, the long close-mid vowels /eː/, /øː/ and /oː/ are realised as slightly closing diphthongs [eɪ]ⓘ, [øʏ]ⓘ and [oʊ]ⓘ, unless they precede /r/ within the same syllable.[14][16] The closing diphthongs also appear in certain Belgian dialects, e.g. the one of Bruges, but not in Belgian Standard Dutch. See Dutch phonology#Monophthongs for more details.
  13. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Found in loanwords.[17]
  14. ↑ Mainly found in loanwords.[18] With the notable exeption of blèren.
  15. 1 2 3 Found in loanwords as a separate phoneme, and as an allophone of its shorter counterpart before /r/ in both native and non-native words,[19] just as other free vowels. Compare auditively schaarⓘ 'shear(s)', with schaatsⓘ 'skate'
  16. ↑ In Belgium, /ɔː/ tends to be pronounced the same as /oː/.[20]
