Usage
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: आईपीए: /word/ (also आईपीए: /word/, आईपीए: /word/, आईपीए: /word/, as below)
- {{pron-en}}, appearing as: उच्चारित/word/,
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}}
→ फ़्रांसीसी उच्चारण: [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:
- Any of these may be combined with a sound file:
{{IPA-fr|o|lang|Fr-eau.ogg}}
→ French: [o] ( सुनें)
- For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as ‹-› is required:

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 साँचा:IPA-jv.

Conversion to IPA
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}}
→ साँचा:IPAc-ar{{IPAc-cmn|zh|ong|1|h|ua|2|-|r|en|2|m|in|2|-|g|ong|4|h|e|2|g|uo|2}}
