*[[Template:IPA]].  This template classifies the enclosed text as "IPA" text, so that other templates or people's personal CSS adjustments can make appropriate changes to its display.  Example: <nowiki>{{IPA|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ}}</nowiki> displays as: {{IPA|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ}}

===[[Template:IPA]]===
This template classifies the enclosed text as "IPA" text, so that other templates or people's personal CSS adjustments can make appropriate changes to its display.  Example: <nowiki>{{IPA|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ}}</nowiki> displays as: {{IPA|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ}}


Throughout Wikipedia, the pronunciations of [[English language|English]] words are conveyed by means of the '''[[International Phonetic Alphabet]] (IPA)'''; for a basic introduction to IPA, see [[Help:IPA/Introduction]]. In particular, the following tables list the relevant transcription for various English [[diaphoneme]]s; for a more complete key, see [[Help:IPA]], which includes sounds that do not occur in English. (If the IPA symbols are not displayed properly by your browser, then see the links at the bottom of this page.)
===[[Template:IPA-all]]===
This template takes any IPA transcription and presents it in a standardized and appealing format, with choices of lede and the possibility of including an audio recording. <nowiki>{{IPA-all|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ|pron|lexhatx.ogg}}</nowiki> displays as: {{IPA-all|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ|pron|lexhatx.ogg}}


If you feel it is necessary to add a pronunciation respelling using another convention, then please use the conventions of [[Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key|Wikipedia's pronunciation respelling key]].
===[[Template:IPA-t]]===
 
This template breaks up IPA symbols into separate phonemes, with a pronunciation guide available on mouseover. <nowiki>{{IPA-all|l|E|ˈ|J|a|Z|lexhatx.ogg}}</nowiki> displays as: {{IPA-all|l|ɛ|ˈ|d͡ʒ|a|ʒ|pron|audio=Lexhatx.ogg}}
* To compare the following IPA symbols with non-IPA American dictionary conventions that may be more familiar, see [[pronunciation respelling for English]], which lists the pronunciation guides of fourteen English dictionaries published in the United States.
* To compare the following IPA symbols with other IPA conventions that may be more familiar, see [[Help:IPA conventions for English]], which lists the conventions of eight English dictionaries published in Britain, Australia, and the United States.
 
==Dialect variations==
This key accommodates <!--"standard ... English ... pronunciations" is not OK, so "English" alone is not OK-->standard [[General American]], [[Received Pronunciation]], [[Canadian English]], [[South African English]], [[Australian English phonology|Australian English]], and [[New Zealand English]] pronunciations. Therefore, not all of the distinctions shown here are relevant to a particular dialect:
 
* If, for example, you pronounce ''cot'' {{IPA|/ˈkɒt/}} and ''caught'' {{IPA|/ˈkɔːt/}} the same, then you may simply ignore the difference between the symbols {{IPA|/ɒ/}} and {{IPA|/ɔː/}}, just as you ignore the distinction between the written vowels ''o'' and ''au'' when pronouncing them.  
* In many dialects, {{IPA|/r/}} occurs only before a vowel; if you speak such a dialect, simply ignore {{IPA|/r/}} in the pronunciation guides where you would not pronounce it, as in ''cart'' {{IPA|/ˈkɑrt/}}.
* In other dialects, {{IPA|/j/}} ('''y'''es) cannot occur after {{IPA|/t, d, n/}}, etc., within the same syllable; if you speak such a dialect, then ignore the {{IPA|/j/}} in transcriptions such as ''new'' {{IPA|/njuː/}}. For example, ''New York'' is transcribed {{IPA|/njuː ˈjɔrk/}}. For most people from England and for some New Yorkers, the {{IPA|/r/}} in {{IPA|/ˈjɔrk/}} is not pronounced (and may instead [[R-colored vowel|rhotacise]] the preceding vowel); for most people from the United States, including some New Yorkers, the {{IPA|/j/}} in {{IPA|/njuː/}} is not pronounced and may be ignored.
 
On the other hand, there are some distinctions which you might make but which this key does not encode, as they are seldom reflected in the dictionaries used as sources for Wikipedia articles:
 
* The difference between the vowels of ''fir'', ''fur'' and ''fern'' in [[Scottish English|Scottish]] and [[Hiberno-English|Irish English]].
* The difference between the vowels of "pain" and "pane" in some British, Welsh, and Newfoundland dialects.
* The vowels of ''bad'' and ''had'' in many parts of [[Australian English|Australia]] and the Eastern United States.
* The vowels of ''spider'' and ''spied her'' in some parts of Scotland and North America.
 
Other words may have different vowels depending on the speaker. ''Bath,'' for example, originally had the {{IPA|/æ/}} vowel (as in ''cat''), but for many speakers, it now has the {{IPA|/ɑː/}} vowel (as in ''father''). Such words are transcribed twice, once for each pronunciation: {{IPA|/ˈbæθ, ˈbɑːθ/}}.
 
For more extensive information on dialect variations, you may wish to see the [[International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects|IPA chart for English dialects]].

Revision as of 12:04, 2 March 2014

There are three ways to represent the International Phonetic Alphabet on TalossaWiki:

Template:IPA

This template classifies the enclosed text as "IPA" text, so that other templates or people's personal CSS adjustments can make appropriate changes to its display. Example: {{IPA|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ}} displays as: lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ

Template:IPA-all

This template takes any IPA transcription and presents it in a standardized and appealing format, with choices of lede and the possibility of including an audio recording. {{IPA-all|lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ|pron|lexhatx.ogg}} displays as: pronounced [lɛˈd͡ʒaʒ] ( listen)

Template:IPA-t

This template breaks up IPA symbols into separate phonemes, with a pronunciation guide available on mouseover. {{IPA-all|l|E|ˈ|J|a|Z|lexhatx.ogg}} displays as: ɛ [l] ( listen)

Key

Note: The IPA stress mark (ˈ) comes before the syllable that has the stress, in contrast to stress marking in pronunciation keys of some dictionaries published in the United States.

  1. ↑ If the two characters ⟨ɡ⟩ and ⟨File:Opentail g.svg⟩ do not match and if the first looks like a ⟨γ⟩, then you have an issue with your default font. See Rendering issues.
  2. ↑ The IPA value of the letter ⟨j⟩ is counter-intuitive to many English speakers. However, it does occur with this sound in a few English words, such as hallelujah and Jägermeister.
  3. ↑ Although the IPA symbol [r] represents a trill, /r/ is widely used instead of /ɹ/ in broad transcriptions of English.
  4. ↑ The phoneme /hw/ is not distinguished from /w/ in the many dialects with the wine–whine merger, such as RP and most varieties of GenAm. For more information on this sound, see voiceless labio-velar approximant.
  5. ↑ A number of English words, such as genre and garage, are pronounced with either /ʒ/ or /dʒ/.
  6. ↑ In most dialects, /x/ is replaced by /k/ in most words, including loch. In ugh, however, it is often replaced by /ɡ/ (a spelling pronunciation), and in Chanukah by /h/
  7. ↑ Commonly transcribed /əʊ/ or /oː/.
