IPA Examples Explanation
ˈ gjahtar [ɟahˈtaɾ] primary stress (placed before the stressed syllable)
  1. 1.0 1.1 The contrast between flapped r and trilled rr is the same as in Spanish. English does not phonemically have either sound.
  2. The letter Tɛmplet:Angbr is sometimes written Tɛmplet:Angbr due to technical limitations or because of its use in English for the same sound and its analogy to the other digraphs Tɛmplet:Angbr, Tɛmplet:Angbr, and Tɛmplet:Angbr. Usually, it is written simply Tɛmplet:Angbr or, more rarely, Tɛmplet:Angbr, with the context resolving any ambiguities.

The letter r is actually an alveolar approximant [ɹ], similar to the r sound in North American English.
