Rhymes:Yiddish

Notes

Rhymes on Wiktionary are organized using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). See Wiktionary:IPA pronunciation key for examples demonstrating the sound that each IPA symbol makes. See Help:IPA/Yiddish on Wikipedia for examples of how the IPA can be used to represent the sounds of Yiddish.
The IPA symbols used in Yiddish rhyme pages are slightly different to those used on the Help:IPA/Yiddish page or the Appendix:Yiddish pronunciation page, being slightly more accurate to Yiddish phonology. Of note are:
- ⟨ɜ⟩ instead of ⟨ə⟩
- ⟨r⟩ in all cases (where some transcriptions would use ⟨ʀ⟩ or ⟨ʁ⟩)
- ⟨ɫ⟩ in all cases (except before [ɪ] or [j], when the phoneme itself becomes [ʎ])

All Yiddish syllables have one of the following nuclei (sorted according to standard (YIVO) Yiddish phonology):
