=How to Read the Pronunciation Guide= | |||
This pronunciation guide is divided into a section of sounds with English analogs and a section with sounds that do not appear in English with examples of where they appear in other languages. Symbols in square brackets [] are symbols found in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) known as ''phones'' and symbols in triangle brackets <> are how the phone is written in Haoli romanization and are known as ''graphemes''. | |||
