__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

This template is used to produce a phonetic or phonemic representation (using the IPA system) of Yue Chinese (including Cantonese) words or sounds. It converts Jyutping (JP) to IPA, to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols, but one can also use some IPA symbols directly (listed below). The result is wikilinked to Help:IPA/Cantonese.

Usage

Standard usage: {{IPAc-yue|initial|final|tone number}}

Use m0/M and ng0/NG for syllabic nasals [m̩] and [ŋ̍] respectively.

Periods indicate intra-word syllable boundaries; hyphens (spaces) indicate word boundaries.
