Template:grc-IPA/documentation

This template automatically takes an Ancient Greek word and generates IPA transcriptions of the pronunciation at different periods from Attic Greek in the 5th century BC to Byzantine Greek in the 15th century AD using Module:grc-pronunciation. The template requires input in the first parameter if you would like to display the pronunciation of something besides the entry title, or if a word contains the ambiguous vowels α, ι, υ, which may be either short or long. (To clarify: α, ι, υ in diphthongs are not ambiguous; ᾶ, ῖ and ῦ not in a diphthong, and ᾳ are not ambiguous because the circumflex and iota subscript are only placed on long vowels.) In these cases, use the first parameter to input the alternative form of the word, or a form of the word with breves or macrons added to each ambiguous letter. To add a macron or breve, use the template {{subst:chars|grc|word}}, and add _ for a macron or ^ for a breve after the letter in question: {{subst:chars|grc|Δι^ονύ_σι^α^}} → Δῐονῡ́σῐᾰ. The template automatically places any diacritics in the correct order. Non-Attic dialects in and before the classical period (Ionic, early Epic, Doric, Aeolic, etc.) are not specifically supported by the module, and there may not be enough information to determine how their pronunciation differed from Attic. However, the template is usually added to pages for words in these dialects anyway. In preview mode, the template displays a note listing any vowels with ambiguous length that it runs into. If the notes can be reconciled, they should be.
