Template:IPAc-en/doc

Note: Per WP:LEAD, do not use this template in the lead section for common English words (e.g., pub, rose, pencil, bus, Monday, Earth, etc.).

This template is used to display English International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The pronunciation is broken into individual diaphonemes so that they will have tooltips (mouse-over text) to indicate pronunciation. All diaphonemes from IPA for English are available. For anything outside that set, a different template should be used.

The initial argument can be used to indicate a pronunciation prescript. The available pronunciation codes are:

The first argument that is not a pronunciation code will be treated as a diaphoneme. See the collapsed table below for a full list of diaphoneme codes. As well as diaphonemes, there are some separator codes as well. For example, a keyboard underscore _ can be used for a space between words. Diaphonemes are underlined, but separators are not, and separators do not have any tooltip text.

Note that the aliases include ones that are kept for compatibility reasons and not recommended for further use. The named parameter audio may be used to link to an audio file.
