The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Astur-Leonese pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. There are three main standards of Astur-Leonese, one of Asturian and one of Leonese in Spain, and one of Mirandese in Portugal. Neither Astur-Leonese variant is preferred over the other at Wikipedia except in cases where a local pronunciation is clearly more relevant, such as a place in Asturias or Miranda do Douro (Alto Tráas-os-Montes) or a Leonese artist.

Notes
↑ Can become an Alveolar approximant in the last position of an infinitive, specially in central asturian where are remains of infinitives in -re.
↑ Varies with a voiced retroflex affricate, a voiceless retroflex affricate and a voiceless alveolar affricate.
↑ a aa May be a mid vowel: [e̞] and [ẽa̞] , same as Leonese and Asturian /e/ .
↑ May be a mid vowel: [o̞] , same as Leonese and Asturian /o/ .
↑ The semivowels /w/ and /j/ can be combined with most vowels to form diphthongs and triphthongs.
