Template:rki-IPA/documentation

Rakhine (Arakanese) pronunciation and romanisation template, relying on Module:rki-pron. This generates the IPA pronunciation and romanisation of Rakhine in two systems. See Burmese transliteration for an introduction to Burmese spelling and romanisations.

Parameters

 * Optional: For phonologically irregular words, parameters 1 – ∞ can be used to specify “phonetic respellings” from which IPA and romanisations can be accurately inferred. These respellings can be minor (using tricks to supplement the orthography, see below) or major (using complete phonetic respellings, also see below).
 * Minor respellings are preferred over major respellings, when they are feasible.
 * The two romanisation systems are based on orthography (MLCTS and ALA-LC).
 * An additional  parameter is used to indicate the spelling, from which the orthography-based romanisations (MLCTS and ALA-LC) can be inferred. It should be cautiously used in the main namespace; it may be useful in cases where spaces in the romanisation are desired, or where the spelling does not conform to usual Rakhine orthography rules.

Minor respelling tricks

 * : the previous syllable is a minor syllable.
 * : there is voicing of the following syllable.
 * : the following is pronounced.
 * : the following consonant is pronounced as it is spelled, i.e. for  and  for, instead of  and , respectively. For ရှ and ချ, it shifts the pronunciation from  and  respectively to.

Finals with tones
Using အ as base letter.
