The charts below show the way in which the IPA represents standard Knrawi pronunciations. English approximations are loose in some cases and are only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation. For more information, see Help:IPA.
This page is only for the standardized variety of Knrawi used in formal or inter-regional speech, and in the city of Hauifuu and surrounding areas. For other varieties see Knrawi IPA guides.
