Template:th-pron/documentation

Pronunciation/transliteration template for Thai. Produces Paiboon transcription, Royal Thai General System of Transcription and IPA pronunciation. Relies on Module:th-pron.

Usage

 * parameters
 * No compulsory parameters. Arguments 1 – ∞ are for phonetic respellings in the Thai script. If no argument is present, it takes the pagename as argument 1.
 * This tool does not provide the function of syllable segmentation of a Thai-language text as this is unlikely to be feasible under the Wiktionary infrastructure, thus all inputs must be phonetically respelt. All multisyllabic words must be segmented by "-" intersyllabically, regardless of how apparent the syllabic divisions may be superficially.


 * where to get phonetic respellings
 * A good website for looking up the phonetic respellings is Thai-language.com. Note that unorthographical phonetic features are often not marked in phonetic respellings from Thai-Thai dictionaries, so it is good practice to check against Sealang for pronunciation.
 * There is no need to specify transliteration/transcription in the headword templates if this template is present.


 * note
 * indicates that the pronunciation exhibits unorthographical intersyllabic consonant reduplication, e.g. . Additional notes include  and   etc., the details of which can be found on Module:th-pron.


 * forced middle tone
 * U+0304 Combining macron can be used to force a mid-tone on a syllable. Its placement follows the placement rules of the other tone marks.


 * qualifier
 * Qualifier of a pronunciation can be added by appending  after the respelling. See  and  for examples.


 * homophone
 * The module will attempt to grab homophone lists from Module:th-hom/data based on phonemic spellings and display them in a new row if found. The list will be collapsed if it is too numerous.


 * audio
 * The module will also attempt to grab any audio file that reflects the pronunciation of the phonemic spelling and display them in a new row if found. See, , , and  for some examples.
