Does anyone know where to find an Indonesian dictionary, an Indonesian-English Dictionary for Indonesian language learners with International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions?
A dictionary with IPA transcriptions can reduce someone's dependency on native speakers when learning how to accurately pronounce words. I have seen a few times when non-native pronounce indonesian words like "begitu", "mengapa", "Ancol", it sounds odd.
I have noticed in many cases that non-native Indonesian speakers pronounce words with the letter/alphabet "e" as /e/, e.g it sounds like /e/ in IPA without realising it. While I am not a linguistic expert, I believe that in the Indonesian language, many words with "e" sound more closely to /ɜː/ for long vowels or /ə/ (e.g schwa) for short vowels. "c" in Indonesian language sounds like /tʃ/ in IPA, not /k/
I have browsed the official Indonesian language dictionary, "Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia," which is available here:
https://kbbi.kemdikbud.go.id/
However, this dictionary does not provide phonetic information.
Does anyone know of a good Indonesian language dictionary with IPA transcriptions?
