The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Russian language pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.

See Russian phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of Russian. See Russian alphabet for help converting spelling to pronunciation.

Russian distinguishes soft (palatalized) and hard (unpalatalized or plain) consonants. Soft consonants, denoted by a superscript j, ⟨ʲ⟩, are pronounced with the body of the tongue raised toward the hard palate, like the articulation of the y sound in yes. /j, ɕː, tɕ/ are always soft, whereas /ʂ, ts, ʐ/ are always hard.

Stress mark (placed before the stressed syllable)
  1. [[[
    en:voiced dental affricate|dz]]] appears only in surnames (such as Дзю́ба), loanwords and as an allophone of /ts/ before voiced consonants.
  2. [[[
    en:voiced alveolo-palatal affricate|dʑ]]] appears only as an allophone of /tɕ/ before voiced consonants.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Consonants in consonant clusters are assimilated in voicing if the final consonant in the sequence is an obstruent. All consonants become voiceless if the final consonant is voiceless or voiced if the final consonant is voiced (Halle 1959:31).
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6 4.7 The voiced obstruents /b, bʲ, d, dʲ, ɡ, v, vʲ, z, zʲ, ʐ, ʑː/ are devoiced word-finally unless the next word begins with a voiced obstruent (Halle 1959:22).
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 г⟩ is usually pronounced [ɣ] or [x] in some religious words and colloquial derivatives from them, such as Го́споди! and Бог, and in the interjections ага́, ого́. /ɡ/ devoices and lenites to [x] before voiceless obstruents (dissimilation) in the word roots -мягк- or -мягч-, -легк- or -легч-, -тягч- and also in the old-fashioned pronunciation of -ногт-, -когт-, кто.
  6. The soft vowel letters ⟨е, ë, ю, я⟩ represent /je, jo, ju, ja/ when initial or after other vowels or a yer. When these vowels are unstressed (save for ⟨ë⟩, which is never unstressed), the /j/ may be deleted.
  7. /l/ is often strongly pharyngealized [[[
    en:dental, alveolar and postalveolar lateral approximants#Velarized alveolar lateral approximant|ɫ]]], but that feature is not distinctive (Ladefoged & Maddieson 1996:187-188).
  8. щ⟩ is sometimes pronounced as [ɕː] or [ɕɕ] and sometimes as [ɕtɕ], but no speakers contrast the two pronunciations. It is generally includes the other spellings of the sound, but the word счи́тывать sometimes has [ɕtɕ] because of the morpheme boundary between the ⟨с-⟩ and the ⟨ч⟩.
  9. Intervocalic ⟨г⟩ represents /v/ in certain words and affixes.
  10. The long counterpart of [[[
    en:voiced retroflex fricative|ʐ]]], [[[
    en:voiced retroflex fricative|ʐʐ]]] is pronounced as soft [[[
    en:voiced alveolo-palatal fricative|ʑʑ]]] in a few lexical items (such as дрожжи or заезжать) by conservative Moscow speakers; such realization is now somewhat obsolete (Yanushevskaya & Bunčić (2015:224)).
  11. 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 Vowels are fronted and/or raised in the context of palatalized consonants: /a/ and /u/ become [æ] and [ʉ], respectively between palatalized consonants, /e/ is realized as [e] before and between palatalized consonants and /o/ becomes [ɵ] after and between palatalized consonants.
  12. [ɑ] appears between a hard consonant (or a pause) and /l/.
