This book attempts at a description of the sound structure of Standard Spoken
Finnish, intended for an international audience familiar with the basic concepts of
phonetics, phonology and linguistics. No prior knowledge of Finnish, a Finno-
Ugric (and ultimately Uralic) language, is presupposed. The book describes the
phonemes and their allophones, the phonotactics and the prosodic system of the
language, and it is based on the corresponding parts of our textbook in Finnish
(Suomi, Toivanen & Ylitalo 2006), albeit updated and adapted in many ways to
the intended readership. To our knowledge, no equally comprehensive description
of Finnish sound structure is currently available. The description of the prosodic
system is to a considerable extent based on our own recent research.
