IPA: [{{{1}}}]
[edit] Usage
Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
In general, instances of the IPA on a page should be enclosed in the {{IPA}} template, which formats the text in an IPA-compatible font. If a substantial portion of a page is in the IPA, it is customary to post notice of that fact with {{IPA notice|lang=en}}, though each token still requires the {{IPA}} template for proper formatting.
However, 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 for English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
- for foreign 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:
- for Australian English pronunciation specifically, use:
- {{IPA-en-au}}, appearing as: /word/, or
- {{pron-en-au}}, appearing as: pronounced /word/
- for Hebrew words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
- for Irish words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
- for Korean words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
- for Polish words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
- {{IPA-pl}}, appearing as: word, or
- {{Audio-IPA-pl}}, appearing with soundfile as: [word] (
listen).
- for Russian words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
- for Spanish words, in a phonemic transcription, use:
[edit] Note
The older inconsistently named (though still operational) templates {{IPA2}}, {{IPAEng}}, and {{pronEng}} are deprecated, and are to be no longer used.
