Template:IPAc-en/doc

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

The initial arguments can be used to indicate a pronunciation prescript (eg, English pronunciation:). The available pronunciation codes are:

Code	Aliases	Output
lang	english	English
pron	pronunciation	pronunciation:
local		local
ipa		IPA
aus		AU
ca		CA
ie		IE
nz		NZ
uk		UK
us		US
za		ZA

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