Template:et-IPA/old/documentation

This template automatically converts Estonian words into their IPA pronunciation. The template uses Module:et-IPA/old as a back-end. It has been replaced by a new module and template.

Parameters

1=, 2= ...

Gives the word that should be converted. If not provided, the word is taken from the name of the current page, so you can often leave this empty. But it can be useful for "pronunciation respellings" of foreign words.

Three additional marks can be added into words, following the scheme of ÕS 2013:

` before the vowel of a syllable

Indicates that the syllable is stressed and overlong (length 3).

´ before the vowel of a syllable

Indicates that the syllable is stressed but not overlong. By default, stress is assumed on the first syllable if none is specified, so this is only needed if the word or word-part has stress on a non-initial syllable.

' after a consonant

Indicates palatalisation. This should only be indicated when palatalisation is not automatically triggered by the following vowel; that is, when a consonant follows or at the end of a word. When the consonant is long, place ' between the two consonants.

Compounds, which have multiple stresses, should be split into parts, and each part specified as a separate parameter.
