Template:fi-IPA/documentation

This template automatically converts Finnish words into their IPA pronunciation according to (a careful pronunciation of) Standard Spoken Finnish. 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.
