[编辑] 書寫系統
伊博語的書寫系統是一種基於拉丁字母的系統,被稱為昂烏字母(Onwu /oŋwu/ Alphabet)。以下為昂烏字母與其相對應之IPA符號的對照:
| 伊博語字母 (Onwu) |
IPA | 伊博語字母 (Onwu) |
IPA | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | /a/ | ọ | /ɔ/ | |
| b | /b/ | p | /p/ | |
| gb | /ɓ/ ~ /ɡ͡b/ | kp | /ɓ̥/ ~ /k͡p/ | |
| d | /d/ | r | /ɾ/ | |
| e | /e/ | s | /s/ | |
| f | /f/ | sh | /ʃ/ | |
| g | /ɡ/ | t | /t/ | |
| gh | /ɣ/ | u | /u/ | |
| h | /h/ | ụ | /ʊ/ | |
| i | /i/ | v | /v/ | |
| ị | /ɪ/ | w | /w/ | |
| j | /ʤ/ | y | /j/ | |
| k | /k/ | z | /z/ | |
| l | /l/ | ch | /ʧ/ | |
| m | /m/ and /m̩/ | gw | /ɡʷ/ | |
| n | /n/ and /n̩/ | kw | /kʷ/ | |
| ṅ | /ŋ/ | nw | /ŋʷ/ | |
| o | /o/ | ny | /ɲ/ |
The graphemes <gb> and <kp> are described both as implosives and as coarticulated /ɡ/+/b/ and /k/+/p/, thus both values are included in the table.
<m> and <n> each represent two phonemes: a nasal consonant and a syllabic nasal.
Tones are sometimes indicated in writing, and sometimes not. When tone is indicated, low tones are shown with a grave accent over the vowel, for example <a> → <à>, and high tones with an acute accent over the vowel, for example <a> → <á>.
