Usage

In addition to the generic switches outlined below, IPA-sa has:

• {{IPA-sa|o|cl}} → Classical Sanskrit pronunciation: [o]
• {{IPA-sa|o|langcl}} → Classical Sanskrit: [o]
• {{IPA-sa|o|vd}} → Vedic Sanskrit pronunciation: [o]
• {{IPA-sa|o|langvd}} → Vedic Sanskrit: [o]

Usage of IPA pronunciation templates

Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.

IPA font

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.

English words

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:

• {{IPA-en}}, appearing as: English pronunciation: /word/ (also /word/, English: /word/, pronounced /word/, as hereafter).
• {{IPAc-en}}, which automates the conversion to IPA, so that {{IPAc-en|'|w|3r|d}} appears as /ˈwɜrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.

Foreign words

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-all}}, appearing as: IPA: [word]. Or:
  • For specific languages, there may be dedicated IPA keys for standardized transcription. There are several options for their display. The first cell includes the ISO code of the language; the second is the transcription; the third keys an introductory phrase; and the fourth is space for a sound file. Using the French word eau [o] as an example, we have the default format:

• {{IPA-fr|o}} → French pronunciation: ​[o]

Or the word "pronounced" can be used as the introduction:

• {{IPA-fr|o|pron}} → pronounced: [o]

Language name only:

• {{IPA-fr|o|lang}} → French: [o]

"IPA" only:

• {{IPA-fr|o|IPA}} → IPA: [o]

Link only:

• {{IPA-fr|o|}} → [o]

Any of these may be combined with a sound file:

• {{IPA-fr|o|lang|Fr-eau.ogg}} → French: [o] ( )

For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as “-” is required:

• {{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}} → French pronunciation: [o] ( )

IPA-all for not-supported languages

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 IPA: [word].

Japanese, {{IPAc-ja}}	{{IPAc-ja|ku|ro|si|o}} → [ku͍ɽoɕio]
Hungarian, {{IPAc-hu}}	{{IPAc-hu|'|m|a|gy|á|r}} → [ˈmɒɟaːr]
