IPA: [{{{1}}}]
This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to WP: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}}
→ آیپیای: [a]{{IPA-all|a|pron}}
→ آوایش [a]{{IPA-all|a|local}}
→ آوایش محلی: [a]{{IPA-all|a|}}
→ [a]Language 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:
{{IPA-all|a|local|Nl-A.ogg}}
→ آوایش محلی: [a] ( )To keep the default lede, however, ‹IPA› must be entered in the second cell:
{{IPA-all|a|IPA|Nl-A.ogg}}
→ آیپیای: [a] ( )The similar template {{pronunciation}} has no lede switch:
{{pronunciation|Nl-A.ogg}}
→ 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|lang=en}}
, 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 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:
{{IPA-fr|o}}
→ تلفظ فرانسوی: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|pron}}
→ تلفظ میشود [o]{{IPA-fr|o|lang}}
→ فرانسوی: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|IPA}}
→ IPA: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|}}
→ [o]{{IPA-fr|o|lang|Fr-eau.ogg}}
→ فرانسوی: [o] ( ){{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}}
→ تلفظ فرانسوی: [o] ( )Redirects have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated templates. Transcriptions which use these redirects will link to {{IPA-all}} for the time being; when a language-specific template is created the articles will be linked correctly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}}
for Javanese, but for the moment it will be redirected to {{IPA-all}}
, producing آیپیای: [word].

Another type of language-specific template allows you to enter ordinary letters (or conventional ASCII equivalents) from a given language for automatic conversion to phonetic symbols. Those currently available are {{IPAc-ar}} for Arabic, {{IPAc-cmn}} for Mandarin, {{IPAc-en}} for English, {{IPAc-fr}} for French, {{IPAc-ga}} for Irish, {{IPAc-hu}} for Hungarian, {{IPAc-pl}} for Polish and {{IPAc-ja}} for Japanese. For example:
{{IPAc-ar|2|a|l|l|u|gh|a|t_|a|l|3|a|r|a|b|i|y|y|a}}
→ [ʔalluɣat‿alʕarabijja]{{IPAc-cmn|zh|ong|1|h|ua|2|-|r|en|2|m|in|2|-|g|ong|4|h|e|2|g|uo|2}}
→ [ʈʂʊ́ŋxwǎ ɻə̌nmǐn kʊ̂ŋxɤ̌kwǒ]{{IPAc-en|'|s|&|n|d|k|a:|s|@l}}
→ /ˈs[invalid input: '&']ndkɑːsəl/{{IPAc-fr|j|@|-|s|U|i|s_|a|m|é|r|i|c|ain}}
→ [ʒə sɥi.z‿ameʁikɛ̃]{{IPAc-ga|'|b|ai|l'|@|-|'|á|th|@|-|'|c'|l'|ia|th}}
