<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
This template is used to produce a phonetic or phonemic representation (using the [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] system) of Japanese words or sounds, using natural spelling to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols. Natural spelling is used to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols. The result is wikilinked to [[WikipediaHelp:IPA for /Japanese]]. Optionally, an audio file can also be specified.
===Usage===
Examples:
:<nowiki>* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|ku|ro|si|o}}</nowiki> → {{IPAc-ja|ku|ro|si|o_show_result=yes}} (IPA and allophones)
:<nowiki>* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|sa|i|goo|-|no|-|tu|bo|ne}}</nowiki> → {{IPAc-ja|sa|i|goo|-|no|-|tu|bo|ne_show_result=yes}} (spacing, long vowels, and diphthongs; ''oo'' and ''tu'' accepted for ''ō'' and ''tsu'')
:<nowiki>* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|ni|ho|'|n}}</nowiki> → {{IPAc-ja|ni|ho|'|n_show_result=yes}} (accent/downstep)
:<nowiki>* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|hu|n|ō}}</nowiki> → {{IPAc-ja|hu|n|ō_show_result=yes}} (nasal coda)
:<nowiki>* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|ke|s|si|n|ba}}</nowiki> → {{IPAc-ja|ke|s|si|n|ba_show_result=yes}} (geminate consonants need to be specified as 'k', 't', 'p', or 's', but coda nasal can just be 'n')
* {{tlx|IPAc-ja|su|*|ki|ya|ki|*|_show_result=yes}} (voiceless vowels need to be added manually)
Various romanizations are accepted ('ti' or 'chi', 'ō' or 'oo', etc.), but kana is only partially supported. Long vowels are accepted with a consonant (''gō'' or ''goo'' above), but diphthongs require a second cell. For geminate consonants, a value 'p', 't', 's', 'k' needs to be specified. Enter an apostrophe in its own cell for [[downstep]] (change in pitch) – do not use an apostrophe to separate a coda nasal, just use a pipe. Use a hyphen to separate words. Syllable breaks (".") are not supported. ▼
