Explanation
ˈ
Primary stress (placed before the stressed syllable), e.g. אײזל [ˈɛɪzl̩] 'donkey'
ˌ
Secondary stress, e.g. מאַמע־לשון [ˈmaməˌlɔʃn̩] 'Yiddish as mother tongue'
^ ا ب پ ت ٹ ث Only in words of Semitic origin.
↑ Not a separate phoneme of Yiddish, but an allophone of /n/ before /ɡ, k/
↑ The rhotic /r/ is a phonetically variable consonant. It may be either alveolar or uvular, but it is more commonly a flap/tap [[[|ɾ]] ~ [[|ʀ̆]] ] than a trill [[[|r]] ~ [[|ʀ]] ] (Kleine (2003 :263)).
