This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to Help:IPA, a general IPA key. It is intended for languages without specific support, and for narrow transcriptions of languages that do. See below for specific templates.
The first cell in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional cell is a switch that controls the lede. With no second value, the lede IPA: appears:
{{IPA-all|a}}
→ IPA: [a]{{IPA-all|a|pron}}
→ pronouncedLanguage names may be entered as well; in this case, the colon is required:
{{IPA-all|a|Dutch:}}
→ Dutch: [a]Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third cell:
To keep the default lede, however, ‹IPA› must be entered in the second cell:
The similar template {{pronunciation}} has no lede switch:
{{pronunciation|Nl-A.ogg}}
→ pronunciation (مدد·ڄاڻ)
Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
In general, IPA symbols on a page should be enclosed in the {{IPA}}
template, which formats the text in an IPA-producing font. If a substantial portion of a page uses IPA, it is customary to post notice of that fact with {{IPA notice}}
, though each token still requires the {{IPA}}
template for proper formatting.
If there are not enough occurrences to warrant a notice, then consider a template that links to an IPA key for the first instance of the IPA on a page or section.
For English words, in a broad, non-regional transcription, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, use templates linking to Help:IPA/English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
{{IPAc-en|'|w|3r|d}}
appears as /ˈwɜrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.For a specific transcription in a regional variety, use {{IPA-endia}} or {{IPA-all}}.
For words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, use templates linking to the more general Help:IPA chart, containing all major IPA symbols:
{{IPA-fr|o}}
→ فرينچ اچار: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|pron}}
→ pronounced [o]{{IPA-fr|o|lang}}
→ فرينچ: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|IPA}}
→ IPA: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|}}
→ [o]{{IPA-fr|o|lang|Fr-eau.ogg}}
→ فرينچ: [o] ( ٻڌو){{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}}
→ فرينچ اچار: [o] ( ٻڌو)Templates have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated key pages. Transcriptions which use these templates will link to Help:IPA for the time being; when a language-specific key is created the templates will be linked accordingly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}}
for Javanese, but for the moment it will link to Help:IPA, producing سانچو:IPA-jv.
The template {{x2i}} takes X-SAMPA symbols (ASCII equivalents of IPA symbols) and converts them to IPA.
Other language-specific templates allow you to enter ordinary letters (or conventional ASCII equivalents) in place of IPA characters, and they will be automatically converted to the phonetic symbols that are used to transcribe the language. The templates that are currently available are shown below, with examples:
