Pronunciation

 * Main article: Pronunciation

Ideally, every entry should have a pronunciation section, with the phonetic transcription and usually including an audio file. Note that pronunciations may vary widely between dialects, and non-linguists often have trouble writing down pronunciations properly.

A typical pronunciation section may look like the following (simplified) example based on the word :

Notes:
 * The region or accent [,, , et al.] is first if there is regional variation, followed by the pronunciation system (such as enPR or IPA), a colon, then the pronunciation. (See Wiktionary:Pronunciation key for an outline of these two systems.) The phonetic transcriptions are normally placed between diagonal strokes. Use an established system of pronunciation transcription, such as IPA.
 * For audio pronunciations, upload the Ogg file to Commons and link here using Template:audio.
 * Rhymes are listed in the "Rhymes" namespace; do not list rhymes in the main namespace. In each entry, add a link to the respective rhymes page in that lists the rhymes for it. See for usage instructions.
 * Homophones are words in the same language that have the same sound. Don't add: 1) words that are “nearly” homophones or rhymes (for example, for, the words or ); 2) words that are homophones if they are mispronounced in some way (e.g. for , the word  when pronounced with a lisp); 3) words from other languages (which are unlikely to be true homophones anyway). (Note that it is different from , which is ambiguous as it can mean either  or .) Homophones should be listed in the alphabetical order, using the  template. If a word is a homophone in a particular dialect, it may be added provided the dialect is referred to (for example,  is a homophone of  in accents with flapping, and  is a homophone of  in non-rhotic accents).
 * Use the template for hyphenations.
