'''Note: Do not use this template in the lead section for common English words or compound words (e.g., [[Sword]], [[Man]], [[Opal]], [[Longbow]], etc.).'''

This template is used to display English {{WP|International Phonetic Alphabet}} (IPA) characters. The pronunciation is broken into individual {{WP|diaphonemes}} so that they will have tooltips (mouse-over text) to indicate pronunciation. All diaphonemes from {{WP|Help:IPA/English}} are available.

The transcription system of {{WP|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 {{T|IPA-all}} instead.

The initial argument (entry after |) can be used to indicate a pronunciation prescript; link to IPA. The codes are:
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
|+ class="nowrap" | Pronunciation & IPA link codes
! Code !! Output
|-
| <code>lang</code> || English:
|-
| <code>local</code> || locally
|-
| <code>ipa</code> || [[wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]:
|-
| <code>also</code> || also
|-
| <code>uk</code> || [[wikipedia:British English|UK]]:
|-
| <code>us</code> || [[wikipedia:American English|US]]:
|-
| <code>uklang</code> || [[wikipedia:British English|British English]]:
|-
| <code>uslang</code> || [[wikipedia:American English|American English]]:

| <code>ukalso</code> || [[wikipedia:British English|UK]] also

| <code>usalso</code> || [[wikipedia:American English|US]] also
|-
| <code>alsouk</code> || also [[wikipedia:British English|UK]]:
|-
| <code>alsous</code> || also [[wikipedia:American English|US]]:
|}

The first argument that is not a code above will be treated as a diaphoneme. All diaphonemes listed at {{WP|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 <code>aɪ|.|ər</code>, <code>iː|ər</code> and <code>i|ə</code>). Also available are /ɪəˈr/, /ɛəˈr/, /ʊəˈr/, /ɪəˌr/, /ɛəˌr/, and /ʊəˌr/, preserved for when a centering diphthong precedes a stress.

;Separator codes

Use an underscore <code>_</code> to separate words. When multiple pronunciations for the same word(s) are possible, use a comma and an underscore <code>,_</code> to separate the variants which will appear as a comma. As necessary, use a hyphen <code>-</code> to indicate omitted syllables. Diaphonemes are underlined, but separators are not, and separators do not have any tooltip text.


The named parameter <code>audio=</code> may be used to link to an audio file.

== Examples ==
* <code><nowiki>{{IPAc-en|ɑːr|ˈ|d|ɔɪ|n}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPAc-en|ɑːr|ˈ|d|ɔɪ|n}}

* <code><nowiki>{{IPAc-en|lang|ɑːr|ˈ|d|ɔɪ|n}}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPAc-en|lang|ɑːr|ˈ|d|ɔɪ|n}}}

Examples using {{WP|Help:IPA/English#SAMPA|SAMPA}} spelling for individual diaphonemes:
* <code><nowiki>{{IPAc-en|a:r|'|d|OI|n}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPAc-en|a:r|'|d|OI|n}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPAc-en|lang|a:r|'|d|OI|n}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPAc-en|lang|a:r|'|d|OI|n}}

If "[invalid input]" is displayed, it means that an unsupported input was used.
