This article used to be a joint pronunciation guide for Czech and Slovak. For the pronunciation guide for the latter language, see Help:IPA for Slovak.
English approximations are, in some cases, very loose, especially for vowels. They are intended to give only a general idea of the pronunciation. See Czech phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds.
^[d͡z] occurs only in loanwords and as an allophone of /t͡s/ before voiced consonants. The word "podzim" is usually pronounced with [d͡z], but a careful speaker would pronounce the two letters separately.
