Wikipedia has an article on: Wikipedia:IPA for FrenchThe charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents French pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.
English approximations are in some cases very approximate, and only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation. See French phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds.
French has no word-level stress, so stress marks should not be used in transcribing French words. See here for explanation.

- ^ often replaced by [a] in speech; often transcribed with /a/ too.
- ^ often replaced by [ɛ]; rare among younger speakers in France; rarely transcribed as /ɛː/ on Wiktionary.
- ^ In French, /ə/ is pronounced with some lip rounding; for a number of speakers, it is also more front and may even be phonetically identical to the vowel of sœur.
- ^ often replaced by [ɛ̃]
