Help:IPA/Danish

{{IPA key|H:IPA-DA}}

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

Transcriptions in articles are primarily based on the "distinct form" set out in {{harvp|Brink|Lund|Heger|Jørgensen|1991}}. Stress, stød, and vowel length are frequently lost in actual running speech.

See Danish phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of the language.

| stød{{refn|Stød, which is realized most often as creaky voice (found in English as the vocal fry register; {{angbr IPA|◌̰}} in standard IPA), can only occur after a long vowel or a sequence of a short vowel and {{IPA|[ð, j, l, m, n, ŋ, w, ɐ̯]}} in a stressed syllable. Phonologically long vowels with stød are shorter in realization, so they are transcribed as short in this guide (cf. pæn {{IPA|/ˈpɛːˀn/ [ˈpʰeˀn]}} 'nice', pen {{IPA|/ˈpɛnˀ/ [ˈpʰenˀ]}} 'pen').}}

Comparison of transcription schemes

Transcriptions of Danish in linguistic and lexicographic literature deviate from the standard IPA in many aspects to dispense with diacritics and to maintain resemblance to the Dania transcription, which was influential in the development of Danish linguistics and maintains resemblance to Danish orthography. The conventions of this guide, on the other hand, seek adherence to standard IPA usage as much as possible so that readers who are already familiar with the standard IPA do not have to look up or remember the value of each symbol in the Danish tradition.
