Explanation
ˈ Primary stress (placed before the stressed syllable):tayô [taˈjoʔ] 'to stand', táyo [ˈtajo] 'we'
↑ Sometimes an allophone of /s/ before voiced consonants .
↑ /a/ is relaxed to [ɐ ] in unstressed positions and also occasionally in stressed positions (inang bayan [iˈnɐŋ ˈbɐjən] ).↑ The Tagalog /e/ doesn't quite line up with any English vowel, though the nearest equivalents are the vowel of ray (for most English dialects) and the vowel of send . The Tagalog vowel is usually articulated at a point between the two.
↑ /i/ is pronounced [ɪ ] in unstressed initial and medial syllables. See Tagalog phonology#Vowels and semivowels .↑ The Tagalog /o/ doesn't quite line up with any English vowel, though the nearest equivalents are the vowel of co de (for most English dialects) and the vowel of ta lk . The Tagalog vowel is usually articulated at a point between the two.
