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}
→ ఆంగ్ల ఉచ్ఛారణ: /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:
For the default lede, however, a placeholder such as ‹-› is required in the second cell:
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: ఆంగ్ల ఉచ్ఛారణ: /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 /ˈwɜːrd/. 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] ( listen)
- For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as “-” is required:
{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}
→ French pronunciation: [o] ( listen)
Supported languages and their templates

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].

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. Languages currently available, and examples of use, are:
Arabic | {IPAc-ar|2|a|l|l|u|gh|a|t_|a|l|3|a|r|a|b|i|y|y|a} → [ʔalluɣat‿alʕarabijja]
|
Mandarin | {IPAc-cmn|zh|ong|1|h|ua|2|-|r|en|2|m|in|2|-|g|ong|4|h|e|2|g|uo|2} → [tʂʊ́ŋxwǎ ʐə̌nmǐn kʊ̂ŋxɤ̌kwɔ̌]
|
English | {IPAc-en|'|s|&|n|d|k|a:|s|@l} → /ˈs[invalid input: '&']ndkɑːsəl/
|
French | {IPAc-fr|j|@|-|s|U|i|s_|a|m|é|r|i|c|ain} → [ʒə sɥi.z‿ameʁikɛ̃]
|
Irish | {IPAc-ga|'|b|ai|l'|@|-|'|á|th|@|-|'|c'|l'|ia|th} → [ˈbˠalʲə ˈaːhə ˈclʲiəh]
|
Japanese | {IPAc-ja|a} → [a]
|
Hungarian | {IPAc-hu|'|m|a|gy|á|r} → [ˈmɒɟaːr]
|
Polish | {IPAc-pl|'|sz|cz|e|ć|i|n} → [ˈʂt͡ʂɛt͡ɕin]
