Template:orv-IPA/documentation

This is the pronunciation template for Old East Slavic words. Every parameter generates a separate pronunciation, based on the respelling given in the parameter. The following special characters are used to specify pronunciation that cannot be deducted from the spelling: The pronunciation template should only be added to etymologically normalised spellings. There is no need to specify tense yers in any way, the pronunciation template does this automatically.
 * (acute accent) Indicates stress
 * (kamora on a consonant) Indicates original palatalisation, that originates from the Proto-Slavic phonemes *ň, *ľ, *ř and *ś; There is no need to indicate palatalisation of the outcome of Proto-Slavic *c, since written <ц> is always soft.
 * (kamora on an <о>) Indicates long that originates from a Proto-Slavic *ò with acute intonation. Since this phoneme was always stressed, there is no need to indicate stress on this vowel.
 * Should be used instead of <и> where etymologically expected - the two phonemes were never distinguished in writing if syllable-initial.
