Template:IPAc-ar - Islamd Wiki

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

Usage

[edit source]

The number of parameters is always limited to 50.

Normal usage:

{{IPAc-ar|sh|u|k|r|a|n}} → [ʃukran]
{{IPAc-ar|S|a|d|ii|q|ii}} → [sˤadiːqiː]

To change the delimiters (for example, if several instances of the template need to be strung together because of the limit on the number of parameters):

{{IPAc-ar|[-|2|a|l|l|u|gh|a|t_}} → [ʔalluɣat‿

The full range of special values for the first parameter (changing the delimiters and/or specifying that the next parameter is an audio file) is as follows:

-- [- -] // /- -/ AUD -]AUD //AUD -/AUD
