Template:accent/documentation

Use this template to specify an accent qualifier for a pronunciation. |1= should contain the language code for the accent in question; you can leave this blank for non-language-specific accent qualifiers. |2=, |3=, etc. should contain the accent qualifiers. Accent qualifiers are substantially the same as the labels specified using {{lb}}, and support all the syntax described there, including pseudo-context qualifiers such as _ and or; double angle bracket notation; and display overrides using !. Currently, the only differences between {{lb}} and {{a}} are that (a) {{a}} does not categorize, while {{lb}} does; (b) some labels display differently when used as accent qualifiers, in a way that is more appropriate to pronunciation specifications. Examples of labels that display differently: The English label Australia (alias Australian, AU, Aus, etc.) displays as Australia and links to the Wikipedia article on Australian English when used with {{lb}}, but displays as General Australian (the name of the standard Australian accent) and links to Australian English phonology when used with {{a}}. Similar changes happen with the South Africa and New Zealand labels (in the latter case, only the Wikipedia article changes). The Latin label Ecclesiastical Latin (alias Ecclesiastical, EL., etc.) displays as Ecclesiastical Latin and links to Ecclesiastical Latin when used with {{lb}}, but displays as modern Italianate Ecclesiastical and links to Latin phonology and orthography#Ecclesiastical pronunciation when used with {{a}}. The (ancient) Egyptian labels Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian, Medio-Late Egyptian and Late Egyptian display as such when used with {{lb}}, but display as reconstructed Old Egyptian, reconstructed Middle Egyptian, etc. when used with {{a}}. The Hebrew label Biblical Hebrew (alias hbo, etc.) links to Biblical Hebrew when used with {{lb}}, but links to Biblical Hebrew#Phonology when used with {{a}}. Various pronunciation templates, e.g. {{IPA}}, {{enPR}}, {{homophones}}, {{rhymes}}, {{audio}} and {{hyphenation}}, support specifying accent qualifiers using the |a= (left qualifier) and |aa= (right qualifier) parameters, as well as (in the case of templates supporting multiple pronunciations) pronunciation-specific parameters |aN= and |aaN= and inline modifiers and . These should be used in preference to separately specifying the accent qualifier(s) using {{a}}, when possible. This means that the main use of {{a}} itself (rather than one of the parameter variants) is when not next to a pronunciation template, such as when on a line by itself or next to a translation template ({{t}}, {{t+}}, etc.). The main difference between accent qualifiers and plain qualifiers specified using {{q}} is that the latter always display as-is and never have links automatically added, while accent qualifiers may (specifically, when they correspond to a recognized label) display differently and may have automatic links added. Unrecognized accent qualifiers display as-is and don't link, just like plain qualifiers, so when using a combination of recognized labels and unrecognized raw text, prefer an accent qualifier over a plain qualifier. To add a new recognized accent qualifier, add it as a label. See Module:labels/data for more information. Examples: 1. A simple use of {{a}}: * {{a|en|RP}} displays as (Received Pronunciation) 2. A use of the |a= parameter: * {{IPA|en|/θɹiː ɹiːdʒn̩z/|a=GA,RP,Canada}} displays as (General American, Received Pronunciation, Canada) IPA(key): /θɹiː ɹiːdʒn̩z/ 3. A use of the |a= parameter along with the inline modifier: * {{IPA|en|a=UK|/djuːp/|/dʒuːp/}} displays as (UK) IPA(key): /djuːp/, (yod-coalescence) /dʒuːp/ 4. A use of the |aa1= and |aa2= parameters, using double angle bracket notation: * {{homophones|en|whirled|aa1=with both the <> and <>|;|whorled|aa2=with both mergers, <> only}} displays as Homophones: whirled (with both the wine–whine merger and fern–fir–fur merger); whorled (with both mergers, Received Pronunciation only) 5. A use of the inline modifier, using double angle bracket notation and ! to force a label to display a particular way: * {{homophones|en|whore|hoar> <> accents with the <>>}} displays as Homophones: whore, hoar (some rhotic American accents with the horse–hoarse merger)
