Usage

This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to WP:IPA for English. The transcription should match the conventions of that key; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA key.

The first cell in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional cell is a switch that controls the lede. With no second value, the lede English pronunciation: appears:

• {{IPA-en|n}} → English pronunciation: /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|pron}} → pronounced /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|lang}} → English: /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|local}} → locally /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|IPA}} → IPA: /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|US}} → US: /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|UK}} → UK: /n/
• {{IPA-en|n|}} → /n/

Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third cell:

• {{IPA-en|n|local|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → locally /n/  (13px listen)

For the default lede, however, a placeholder such as ‹-› is required in the second cell:

• {{IPA-en|n|-|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → English pronunciation: /n/  (13px listen)

The similar template {{pron-en}} has no lede switch:

• {{pron-en|n}} → pronounced /n/
• {{pron-en|n|En-us-'n'.ogg}} → pronounced /n/ (13px listen)
