{{Documentation subpage}}

{{lua|Module:Lang|Module:String}}
This template should be used on a single word or phrase that requires [[Transcription (linguistics)|transcription]] into the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]. Use directly after the word or phrase. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

== Usage ==
* {{tlx|Needs IPA|lang{{=}}{{var|xx}}}}
where <code>xx</code> is the [[ISO 639]] code for the language for which a transcription is requested. It supports up to three languages.

* {{tlx|Needs IPA|lang{{=}}{{var|xx}}|lang2g{{=}}{{var|yy}}|lang3g{{=}}{{var|zz}}}}

In the main namespace, the template categorizes the page into the category named "Articles needing [language name] IPA" if it exists, and into [[:Category:Articles needing IPA]] if it doesn't (or if no language is specified).

You may explicitly specify the term or language being requested in the first parameter, which appears between "needs" and "IPA":
* {{tlx|Needs IPA|English|lang{{=}}en}}
* {{tlx|Needs IPA|surname|lang{{=}}{{var|xx}}}}

=== Examples ===
{{Automarkup
|Glauxkenfruble{{needs IPA{{!}}lang=lt}}
|Glauxkenfruble{{needs IPA{{!}}Lithuanian{{!}}lang=lt}}
}}

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|Articles needing IPA}}
** {{clc|Articles needing English IPA}}

== TemplateData ==
