IPA(key): /ˈfiˌ(ʔ)ipɑ/, [ˈfiˌ(ʔ)ipɑ̝]



This template automatically converts Finnish words into their IPA pronunciation. The template uses Module:fi-IPA as a back-end.

The template currently only works for single words, not for multi-word combinations.

The template does not recognize glottal stops, doubling of j and v after certain diphthongs, -np- change etc. Do not use the template unless you know for certain how a word is pronounced.

Parameters

1=
Gives the word that should be converted. If not provided, the word is taken from name of the current page, so you can generally leave this empty. But it can be useful for "pronunciation respellings" of foreign words.
  • The character * can be used to indicate that the initial consonant of the next word is geminated in pronunciation.
  • If the parameter is *, it's equivalent to providing the current page name plus *. For example, on hame, {{fi-IPA|*}} is a shortcut for {{fi-IPA|hame*}}.
  • For compound words, which have secondary stresses, you should separate the parts of the compound with a "-". For example, on yläosa, {{fi-IPA|ylä-osa}}. The final gemination sign should be included with individual parts, if applicable. For example, on tervetuloa, {{fi-IPA|terve*-tuloa}}.
  • The template automatically recognises diphthongs and groups them as one syllabic unit. If a word has a vowel sequence that could be a diphthong but is really two syllables, insert a "." between the two. For example, on cesium, {{fi-IPA|seesi.um}}
  • The input should be in lowercase. Uppercase letters are reserved for some future features.
