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

French has no word-level stress so stress marks should not be used in transcribing French words. See French phonology and French orthography for a more thorough look at the sounds of French.

IPA Example Description
. pays [pe.i][6] syllable boundary
les agneaux [lez‿aɲo] liaison[7]
  1. In European French, /ɲ/ is merging with /nj/, but in Quebec, /ɲ/ is distinguished from /nj/
  2. In European French, /ŋ/ is often pronounced [ŋɡ]. In Quebec, some speakers merge it with /ɲ/ and some speakers pronounce it exactly in English.
  3. The French rhotic /ʁ/ is usually uvular, but it varies by region. For example, in Quebec, Template:IPAblink, Template:IPAblink and Template:IPAblink are all used, but nowadays, most speakers pronounce [ʁ].
  4. 4,0 4,1 4,2 In Parisian French, /œ̃/ is usually merged with /ɛ̃/, /ɑ/ with /a/ and /ɛː/ with /ɛ/. These pairs are always distinguished in Belgian, Swiss and Quebec French.
  5. In French French, while /ə/ is phonologically distinct, its phonetic quality tends to coincide with either /ø/ or /œ/.
  6. The syllable break . is used sparingly.
  7. In liaison, the latent final consonant is pronounced before a following vowel sound, but s and x are voiced and pronounced Template:IPAblink, and d is unvoiced and pronounced Template:IPAblink.
