Template:Infobox IPA
Usage[change source]
This template can be used to add an infobox for a phonetic sound.
This infobox can be used to describe a phonetic sound, both by its name and its IPA symbol. Additional information can be added, like the X-SAMPA letters and a graphic image file.
In general, the descriptive name corresponds with the article name. The infobox is then placed on that article page.
Parameters[change source]
Basic parameters[change source]
Only a few parameters are required to produce a useful infobox. The above header can be set, and up to four IPA symbols can be shown:
For common IPA symbols, the IPA number defines the article name and the default soundfile name. Decimals are decimal character references, also known as "Entity", to define the symbol in HTML. The template tries to find all known information with these two numbers.
| Voiced alveolar lateral fricative | |
|---|---|
| ɮ | |
| IPA number | 149 |
| Encoding | |
| Entity (decimal) | ɮ |
| Unicode (hex) | U+026E |
| Sound | |
{{Infobox IPA

- Decimal numbers
Up to four decimal values can be entered, to compose the symbol:
| Voiceless palatal lateral fricative | |
|---|---|
| {{Bold text{ipa symbol|}}} | |
| IPA number | 157 402A 429 |
| Encoding | |
| Entity (decimal) | ʎ̥˔ |
| Unicode (hex) | U+028E U+0325 U+02D4 |
| Sound | |
| ipa symbol = ʎ̥˔ | ipa number = 157 402A 429 | decimal1 = 654 | decimal2 = 805 | decimal3 = 724 | decimal4 =
Multiple symbols[change source]
Up to eight symbols can be shown in big font.
| Downstep and upstep | |
|---|---|
| {{Bold text{ipa symbol|}}} | |
| ꜜ◌ | |
| above = Downstep and upstep | ipa symbol =ꜛ◌ | ipa symbol2 =ꜜ◌ | ipa symbol3 = ... | ipa symbol8 =
Image[change source]
Adding an image of the symbol:

{{infobox IPA
| ipa symbol = ʎ̥˔
| imagefile = Lateral fricatives.svg
| imagecaption = image example
| imagesize = 50px
}}

Soundfile[change source]
The template tries to determine the default soundfile name by using the sound name (as determined by the IPA number, or IPA symbol):
{{IPAsym|m}}→ bilabial nasal.ogg- If this fails, the file name can be entered.
When the file exists, the soundbox is shown. Otherwise, no soundbox is shown at all.
| {{Bold text{ipa symbol|}}} | |
|---|---|
| Example non default soundfile | |
| Sound | |
| ipa symbol = abc | note2 = Example non default soundfile | soundfile = Accordion registers.ogg
Note
- See
{{IPA audio filename}}and{{IPA soundbox}}for more information on phonetic soundfiles.
Deprecated parameters[change source]
The next parameters are deprecated. They can still be used, and may be present in articles.
Old parameters are treated as input for new ones, e.g. input ipa-image=... is read as input for imagefile=....
old parameter goes into new parameter:<br> ipa-number => ipa number ipa-text => ipa symbol ipa-image => imagefile decimal => decimal1 xsampa => x-sampa sound => soundfile
Priorities in parameters[change source]
The template tries to get as much information as possible from the input. Overwriting:
| above = (overwrites ipa symbol name (IPAsym) in header) | ipa symbol = (overwrites big symbol that was created by the decimal numbers) | unicode = (overwrites Unicode numbers that were determinated by the decimal numbers) | soundfile = (overwrites any default soundfile name that was derived by the IPA symbol name or number)
