English pronunciation of Greek letters
- English pronunciation of Greek letters
This table gives the common English pronunciation of Greek letters using the International Phonetic Alphabet (see .) It is the pronunciation of the ancient Greek names of the Greek letters using the English teaching pronunciation (traditionally called "Erasmian"). Sometimes, especially in the sciences, the vowels will be pronounced closer to the Greek, for example IPA|/ˈpsiː/ instead of IPA|/ˈsaɪ/ for "psi."
