Template:IPAc-en/doc
Note: Per TS:PRON, do not use this template in the lead section for common English words or compound words.
This template is used to display English International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) characters. The pronunciation is broken into individual diaphonemes so that they will have tooltips (mouse-over text) to indicate pronunciation. All diaphonemes from Help:IPA/English are available.
The transcription system of Help:IPA/English, upon which this template relies, is diaphonemic, i.e. meant to cover multiple major varieties of English at once. If you wish to give a narrow transcription of a pronunciation in a certain variety of English, use {{IPA-all}}
instead.
The initial argument (entry after |) can be used to indicate a pronunciation prescript; link to IPA. The codes are:

The first argument that is not a code above will be treated as a diaphoneme. All diaphonemes listed at [[Help:IPA/English]] are available (except the ones that span two syllables such as /aɪ.ər/, /iːər/ and /iə/, which need to be input as aɪ|.|ər
, iː|ər
and i|ə
). Also available are /ɪəˈr/, /ɛəˈr/, /ʊəˈr/, /ɪəˌr/, /ɛəˌr/, and /ʊəˌr/, preserved for when a centering diphthong precedes a stress.
- Separator codes
Use an underscore _
to separate words. When multiple pronunciations for the same word(s) are possible, use a comma and an underscore ,_
to separate the variants which will appear as a comma. As necessary, use a hyphen -
to indicate omitted syllables. Diaphonemes are underlined, but separators are not, and separators do not have any tooltip text.
See the collapsed table below for a full list of diaphoneme codes.
