Template for listing Korean dialectal equivalents. Uses Module:ko-dial-syn. Synonym data stored in modules under Module:ko/data/dial-syn.

Transliterations
Automatic transliterations can be overriden by putting the transliteration/transcription after the synonym, separated by a colon: ["Seoul"] = { "WORD/TR" },

To-do

 * Transliterations should automatically merge certain vowels (currently have to be done by hand, if done at all):
 * ✅ and  should both be transliterated as e in:
 * 1) modern colloquial Seoul
 * 2) all of Gyeongsang except Jinju, Sancheong, Hamyang, Namhae, Hadong, Sacheon, Goseong, Tongyeong (see 산청지역어의 음소체계 연구)
 * 3) Samcheok. Traditionally, Jeongseon did not merge these vowels (1) but Samcheok did (2).
 * 4) Gochang in N. Jeolla and most of S. Jeolla except Gurye, Gwangyang, Goheung, Boseong, (probably Suncheon as well but couldnt find a source)
 * ✅ and  should both be transliterated as eu in all of Gyeongsang except:
 * in parts of northern Gyeongsang transitional with Gangwon: Uljin and Bonghwa for sure, less clear further south (seems to have been reversed under Seoul influence before the merger could be completed?)
 * in Hamyang (but not anywhere else in S. Gyeongsang)
 * Modern Pyongan speakers (inc. speakers of 문화어) have merged and  to o,  and  to u, but this is not characteristic of traditional Pyongyang speech or formal 문화어—do we need a "modern colloquial Pyongyang"? But data on this would be hard to find.
 * ✅ Vowel length: 말: should automatically produce the transliteration maːl
 * Tentatively implemented with the symbol, as the colon is already in use -- 08:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Nasalization: Gyeongsang, Yeongdong, Hwanghae, and the two northern varieties
 * 하~ should be transliterated as hã and transformed into 항
 * not in closed syllables
 * Gyeongsang needs automatic transliteration
 * ❌ for glottal stop (q)
 * ✅ for nasalization (tilde over the vowel)

Some thoughts

 * Proper marking of pitch? Probably best to use surface realizations (so two pitch levels for southern Gyeongsang and most of Hamgyong, three for the Gilju area, two pitch levels + vowel length marking for northern Gyeongsang) instead of trying to analyze the underlying accentual pattern
