IPA: [{{{1}}}]
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:
- the template {{IPA-en}} is available for a broad, non-regional transcription of an English word, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, as it links to Help:pronunciation, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
- {{IPA-en|word}} appears as: IPA: /word/.
- {{pron-en|word}} appears as: Template:Pron-en.
- {{IPAlink-en|word}} appears as: Template:IPAlink-en.
- the template {{IPA-all}} would be more appropriate for foreign words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, as it links to the more general Help:IPA chart, containing all major IPA symbols:
- {{IPA-all|word}} appears as: Template:IPA-all.
- {{pronounced|word}} appears as: Template:Pronounced.
- {{IPAlink|word}} appears as: Template:IPAlink.
Note
The older inconsistently named (though still operational) templates {{IPA2}}, {{IPAEng}}, and {{pronEng}} are deprecated.
