From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Cagian pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.

English approximations are in some cases very rough, and only intended to give a general idea of the pronunciation.

Cagian has little word-level stress, so stress marks should not be used in transcribing Cagian words. Stress usually lands on the last or second last syllable.
