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

English approximations are in some cases very rough, 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 (linguistics)|stress]], so stress marks should not be used in transcribing French words. See [[French_phonology#Stress|here]] for explanation.
