Àdàkọ:IPA-ga

Irish pronunciation: [{{{1}}}]

Usage

This template formats IPA transcriptions and sound files and links them to WP:IPA for Irish. 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 Irish pronunciation: appears.

• {{IPA-ga|o}} → Irish pronunciation: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|lang}} → Irish: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|}} → [o]

Several more switches, used for all IPA templates, are described below. In addition, IPA-ga has:

• {{IPA-ga|o|mod}} → Modern Irish pronunciation: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|langmod}} → Modern Irish: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|Ulster}} → Ulster Irish: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|Connacht}} → Connacht Irish: [o]
• {{IPA-ga|o|Munster}} → Munster Irish: [o]

which may be useful when contrasting with Old Irish pronunciations. (For Old Irish, use the {{IPA-all}} template.)

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}}
