. pays /pe.i/[၁၅] syllable boundary
les agneaux /lez‿aˈɲo/ liaison[၁၆]
  1. The French /l/ is clear, similar to the pronunciation in Spanish and German but unlike the dark /l/ of American English.
  2. In European French, /ɲ/ is often pronounced [nj] .
  3. The French rhotic varies from region to region, but is usually uvular. The more common pronunciations include a voiced uvular fricative [ʁ], a uvular trill [ʀ], and [χ] (after voiceless consonants).
  4. In European French, /ŋ/ is often pronounced [ŋɡ].
  5. /x/ may be replaced by /ʁ/.
  6. In European French, /ɑ/ is normally replaced by /a/.
  7. In European French, /ɛː/ is normally replaced by /ɛ/. In Quebec French, /ɛː/ is often pronounced [aɛ̯].
  8. In French, /ə/ is pronounced with some lip rounding [ɵ̞]; for a number of speakers, it is also more front and may even be phonetically identical to the vowel of neuf [nœf]. In European French, [ə] is rounded and fronted, making it phonetically similar to [ø].
  9. In European French at least, /ɔ/ is partly unrounded, leading it to have somewhat of the quality of nut.
  10. In European French, /ɑ̃/ is actually pronounced [ɒ̃], with rounding. In Quebec French, /ɑ̃/ is pronounced [ã].
  11. In European French, /ɛ̃/ is actually pronounced [æ̃]. In Quebec French, /ɛ̃/ is pronounced [ẽ].
  12. In European French, /œ̃/ is normally replaced by /ɛ̃/, pronounced [æ̃].
  13. In European French, /ɔ̃/ is actually pronounced [õ].
  14. Stress falls on the last full syllable of a phrase, except in emphatic speech.
  15. Used sparingly.
  16. Latent final consonant is pronounced before a following vowel sound.
