From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are several templates in Wikipedia for proper display of the IPA. For the first occurrance of the IPA on a page, consider a template that links to an IPA chart. For subsequent instances of the IPA you can use {{IPA}}, which simply formats the IPA in an appropriate font without any links.
Templates for first use of the IPA on a page or section:
- For a broad, non-regional transcription of an English word, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, {{IPAEng}} is appropriate, as it links to Help:IPA English pronunciation key, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English. It displays IPA: /word/.
- For foreign words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, {{IPA2}} woud be more appropriate, as it links to full Help:IPA pronunciation key. It displays IPA: [word].
- If you prefer the link to appear as pronounced [word], use the {{pronounced}} template .
- For phonemic transcriptions that follow Australian pronunciation, use the templates {{IPAAusE}} and {{pronAusE}}.
