Àdàkọ:IPA-en

Usage

This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to WP:IPA for English. The transcription should match the conventions of that key; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA key.

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 English pronunciation: appears:

{{IPA-en|n}} → Pípè: /n/
{{IPA-en|n|pron}} → pronounced /n/
{{IPA-en|n|lang}} → English: /n/
{{IPA-en|n|local}} → locally /n/
{{IPA-en|n|IPA}} → IPA: /n/
{{IPA-en|n|US}} → US: /n/
{{IPA-en|n|UK}} → UK: /n/
{{IPA-en|n|}} → /n/

Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third cell:

{{IPA-en|n|local|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → locally /n/ ( listen)

For the default lede, however, a placeholder such as ‹-› is required in the second cell:

{{IPA-en|n|-|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → Pípè: /n/ ( listen)

The similar template {{pron-en}} has no lede switch:

{{pron-en|n}} → pípè /n/
{{pron-en|n|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → pípè /n/ ( listen)

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:

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:pronunciation, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
- {{IPAEng|word}} displays as Àdàkọ:IPAEng.
- {{pronEng|word}} displays as pípè /word/.
For foreign words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, {{IPA2}} would be more appropriate, as it links to the more complete Help:IPA chart:
- {{IPA2|word}} displays as IPA: [word].
- {{pronounced|word}} appears as pìpè [word].
For phonemic transcriptions that follow Australian pronunciation, use the templates {{IPAAusE}} and {{pronAusE}}.
For Hebrew, you might want to use use {{IPAHe}}
