The template {{IPA link}} takes an IPA symbol and turns it into a link to the respective article which discusses the sound the symbol represents.

Versions with defined brackets are also available:

  • For phonetic representations, {{IPAblink}} encloses the link in square brackets: [a]
  • For phonemic representations, {{IPAslink}} encloses the link in slashes: /[[|a]]/
  • For orthographic representations, {{IPAalink}} encloses the link in angle brackets: ⟨a

Another version is {{IPAplink}}, which encloses the link in neither brackets nor <span>...</span>, which is useful if the link is already inside {{IPA}}, avoiding superfluous nesting of the same class.

First parameter (required): any IPA symbol.

  • {{IPAalink|m}} → ⟨m
  • {{IPAalink|ɡb}} → ⟨ɡb

Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

  • {{IPAalink|m|Any text}} → ⟨Any text

Audio link

|audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:

  • {{IPAalink|ɽ|audio=yes}} → ⟨ɽ

If the value in |audio= is not "yes", "y", "true", etc., it is treated as the name of an audio file:

  • {{IPAalink|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}} → ⟨ɽ

If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:

  • {{IPAalink|s̬|audio=yes}} → ⟨

Errors

If the IPA symbol is not defined at Module:IPA symbol/data, then an error message is returned and the page will be categorized into Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention.

  • {{IPAalink|xyz}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "xyz" not found in list

The error message can be customized in |errortext=. This cancels the addition of the error category. If set to blank, the message will not appear at all.

  • {{IPAalink|xyz|errortext=Custom error message}} → Custom error message
  • {{IPAalink|xyz|errortext=blank}}
