Pronunciations

Every IPA transcription in Orablo is derived from a published dictionary, or from spelling rules where the language allows it. Nothing is guessed.

The English transcriptions come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.

Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and German come from Wiktionary, read through the extracts published by Kaikki.org, and from the Montreal Forced Aligner pronunciation dictionaries. Spanish is also transcribed by Orablo’s own spelling rules, with the dictionaries as a check.
