The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Mihousapeja pronunciations. English approximations are loose in some cases and are only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation. Primary stress falls on the nasal vowel, marked with tilde (~), if it's one of the three last syllables, otherwise it becomes the secondary stress and the primary is the second-to-last syllable. If the word don't has an explicit nasal, the primary stress falls in the second-to-last syllable.
