This article needs attention from an expert in Linguistics or Phonetics. The specific problem is: Recent phonotactics-related edits need review, as they are largely based on references but are not edited by someone with enough familiarity with the subject. WikiProject Linguistics or WikiProject Phonetics may be able to help recruit an expert.(April 2021)
Unlike many languages, Icelandic has only very minor dialectal differences in sounds. The language has both monophthongs and diphthongs, and many consonants can be voiced or unvoiced.
Icelandic has an aspiration contrast between plosives, rather than a voicing contrast, similar to Faroese, Danish and Standard Mandarin. Preaspirated voiceless stops are also common. However, fricative and sonorant consonant phonemes exhibit regular contrasts in voice, including in nasals (rare in the world's languages). Additionally, length is contrastive for consonants, but not vowels. In Icelandic, the main stress is always on the first syllable.
