This is the pronunciation template for Ingrian words. It has the following parameters:

• |1=, |2=, |3= etc. for various respellings of the word applicable to both the Ala-Laukaa and Soikkola dialect, if needed.
• |A=, |A2=, |A3= etc. for various respellings of the word applicable only to the Ala-Laukaa dialect, if needed.
• |S=, |S2=, |S3= etc. for various respellings of the word applicable only to the Soikkola dialect, if needed.

Analogous to |A= and |S=, |H= and |Y= are used for the Hevaha and Ylä-Laukaa dialects respectively. Note that these two dialects are not yet supported by the template.

Every parameter generates a separate pronunciation, based on the respelling given in the parameter. The following special characters are used to specify pronunciation that cannot be deducted from the spelling:

• . Used between two vowels to indicate that they do not form a digraph (i.e. long vowel or diphthong).

  |1=ma.ata for maata

• ' Used after the palatalised consonant /tʲ/ (in the Ala-Laukaa dialect). This diacritic is automatically ignored by the Soikkola dialect, which lacks native palatalisation.

  |1=t'iukku for tiukku

• j' Used after palatalised consonants in borrowings (present in both dialects), represented orthographically as ⟨j⟩.

  |1=imenj'a for imenja

• - Used between parts of a compound word.

  |1=sana-kirja for sanakirja

• / Used between two vowels that would usually trigger gemination or devoicing, but don't. It may also be used to fix otherwise incorrectly rendered splits between syllables in the IPA:

  |1=oksenta/a for oksentaa

  |S=repo/i for repo

Furthermore, the following features need a respelling:

• In both dialects, secondary gemination (realised as short geminates in the Soikkola dialect) should be spelled as if the consonant is short. These geminations are underlyingly stressed, short consonants followed by two vowels. Orthographically, these geminates are written like long consonants.

  |1=pitää for pittää

• In the Soikkola dialect, the elongation of the second short vowel in trisyllabic words containing only short syllables, should be respelled showing this long vowel:

  |S=omeena for omena

• The vowel /i/ sometimes doesn't trigger gemination or devoicing, and also isn't reduced in the Ala-Laukaa dialect. This is because it is underlyingly a glide /j/. When this is true, this vowel has to be respelled:

  |A=soomalajne for soomalain
