 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:IPAc-ja. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used to produce a phonetic or phonemic representation (using the 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 Wikipedia:IPA for Japanese. Optionally, an audio file can also be specified.
Usage
The number of parameters is limited to 33. Usage is analogous to {{IPAc-pl}}, but pipes separate moras.
Examples:
- {{IPAc-ja|ku|ro|si|o}} → [kɯɾoɕio] (IPA and allophones)
- {{IPAc-ja|ni|ho|'|N}} → [ɲihoꜜ[unsupported input]] ('accent')
- {{IPAc-ja|ni|p|po|N}} → [ɲippo[unsupported input]] (geminate consonants and nasal codas need to be specified manually)
- {{IPAc-ja|sa|i|goo|-|no|-|tu|bo|ne}} → [saiɡoː no tsɯbone] (spacing, long vowels, and diphthongs; oo and tu convention)
Various romanizations are accepted ('ti' or 'chi', 'ō' or 'oo', etc.), but kana is only partially supported. Long vowels are accepted with a consonant, but diphthongs require a second cell. For the coda nasal, a value 'n', 'm', 'ng', 'N', or '~' needs to be specified, depending on the following consonant or vowel. Similarly, for geminate consonants, a value 'p', 't', 's', 'sh', 'k' needs to be specified. Enter an apostrophe in its own cell for downstep (change in pitch). Use a hyphen for a space.
The conversion system is coded in Template:c-ja.
