This template takes the same parameters as {{IPA}}. It takes X-SAMPA as input rather than IPA, and must always be substituted. It converts the X-SAMPA into IPA and transforms into {{IPA}} when the page is saved. The way in which Module:IPA/templates does this is inelegant, but it makes things very convenient.
X-SAMPA is an easier way to type IPA using ASCII characters, if you are willing to learn it. See the X-SAMPA reference tables on Wikipedia.
The backend of this template is the X2IPAtemplate function in Module:IPA/templates and the XSAMPA_to_IPA function in Module:IPA.
Example
For instance, entering the following code –
* {{subst:x2IPA|en|2=}}
– results in the following code when the page is saved –
* {{IPA|en|}}
– which displays as –
Multiple transcriptions are supported:
|
* {{subst:x2ipa|en|/wAt@`/||qual2=alveolar flapping}}
|
| ↓
|
|
* {{IPA|en|/wɑtɚ/||qual2=alveolar flapping}}
|
| ↓
|
- IPA(key): /wɑtɚ/, (alveolar flapping)
|
For a template that simply converts from X-SAMPA to IPA, see {{x2i}}.
