Pronunciation
Hello, please note that the Italian pronunciation template is only for Italian. Sicilian, Neapolitan, etc, may have their own modules in the future, but they don't yet. Ultimateria (talk) 03:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, thank you. I use it at the moment because it is the closest thing there is, and for the entries I have added all the sounds are the same, I will not use it if there is a sound that cannot be produced in Italian but is used in such languages. SignorNic (talk) 04:08, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I say that not just because the sounds will often be wrong, but because it puts non-Italian entries into Italian categories (the main one being Category:Italian terms with IPA pronunciation). You can copy the IPA output from the template if you're confident it's correct, but please don't use the template itself outside of Italian entries. Ultimateria (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, that clears it up, sorry about that. Do you know of a wiktionary page that explains how to enter IPA and pronunciation details correctly? It's quite a large site and I find the IPA to be challenging to get right.
 * Thanks SignorNic (talk) 17:11, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd start with Pronunciation for general info, although it's based on English pronunciation. For language-specific issues, you can look at pages titled "Appendix:XX pronunciation". These are linked to from the IPA template in the text "(key)". Appendix:Sicilian pronunciation isn't developed, but it does link to the Wikipedia page. Sicilian orthography will also be of interest. Let me know if you have any other questions. Ultimateria (talk) 17:34, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
