Dictionaries use various [[notation]] systems and sometimes esoteric [[symbol]]s to convey how a word is pronounced.

Pronunciation of some words differs widely according to [[accent]], [[dialect]], and [[cultural]] and [[religious]] background.  This is conveyed in the famous song "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off", from the musical ''[[Shall We Dance?]]'', which includes the line: "you say toma[y]to, I say toma[h]to".  The 'tomayto' pronunciation of '[[tomato]]' is most common in the [[America]], while the 'tomahto' pronunciation is more common in [[Britain]].
