Template:IPAc-la/doc

This template is used to produce a phonetic or phonemic representation (using the IPA system) of Latin words or sounds, using natural spelling to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols. The result is wikilinked to Help:IPA/Latin. Optionally, an audio file can also be specified.

Usage

The number of parameters is always limited to 50.

Normal usage:

• {{IPAc-la|'|g|a|:|.|i|.|u|s|_|'|j|u|:|l|i|.|u|s|_|'|c|ae|.|s|a|r}} produces [ˈɡaː.ɪ.ʊs ˈjʊːlɪ.ʊs ˈkae̯.sar]
• {{IPAc-la|'|d|i|.|v|u|s|_|'|i|u|:|.|l|i|.|u|s}} produces [ˈdɪ.wʊs ˈjjʊː.lɪ.ʊs]

The following parameters have special meanings:

• _ (underscore) for a space between words
• ' (apostrophe) for a primary stress mark (placed before the stressed syllable)

Other values used as parameters will be displayed unconverted. (The conversion system is coded in Template:c-la.)
