Welcome to the Phonetics Task Force! This task force is a part of WikiProject Linguistics, and aims to make sure the phonetics and phonology related topics on Wikipedia are covered completely and consistently.

Structure

The main page for this project is list of phonetics topics. Please add phonetics topics to this page. Also, you can have a look at our internal list of language phonologies.

Goals

The main projects for this WikiProject:

• write articles for all the red links on list of phonetics topics.
• add links to list of phonetics topics in the "See also" section of all those pages
• Provide examples for each sound on list of vowels and list of consonants, with an example of a language that has that sound, a word in that language with phonetic transcription and an English gloss.
• For each of the articles about a class of sounds, such as velar consonant or open vowel, include a list of all the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols for the sounds that are in that class. For an example, see alveolar consonant.

Templates

• {{WikiProject Linguistics|phonetics=yes}} - for use on the talk pages of articles relating to this task force
• {{Vowels}} - a table of all the cardinal vowels of the International Phonetic Association deprecated
  • {{IPA vowel chart}} is the base trapezium graphic
  • {{IPA consonant chart}} has the consonant tables: pulmonic, non-pulmonic, affricates, other symbols (co-articulated)
  • {{IPA navigation}} has the vowel and consonant (wikified) charts
• {{Manner of articulation}}
• {{Place of articulation}}
• {{IPA}} - Template that makes sure that IPA-characters are properly presented in the most common web browsers.
  • {{IPA notice}} - To note of IPA usage when mentioning it in the article body would be insufficient or impractical.
• {{IPAlink}} – Displays an IPA symbol which is automatically linked to its sound article: β
• {{IPAblink}} – As {{IPAlink}}, enclosed in square brackets: [β]
• {{IPA soundbox}} – Dispays a playable sound file button. Takes the IPA-symbol as input: {{IPA soundbox|β}} ==>
  β

  

  
• {{Listen}} - A template for linking to sound files in Commons; includes a clear help link and is best suited as a standalone template outside of text. Very good for linking to longer sentences or reading of texts.
• {{Audio}} - A second audio template that; much more compact and better suited for smaller sound samples and links that are enclosed in text. Appropriate for tables and for linking to shorter sound files like the pronunciation of individual phones or shorter words and phrases.
• {{Audio-IPA}}, a variant of {{Audio}} to be used with IPA notation.
• {{IPAc-en}} ({{IPA-en}}), {{IPA-all}}, and other IPA-xx templates: variations of {{IPA}} which link to IPA keys and may be used with audio files
• Stub type: {{phonetics-stub}} / Category:phonetics stubs
• {{USdict}} and {{respell}} - secondary phonemic English transcriptions for readers unfamiliar with the IPA
• Clean up/translation needed:
  • {{Cleanup-ipa}}
  • {{RoughTranslation}}
  • {{Cleanup-translation}}
  • {{Notenglish}}
• {{Language phonologies}} - for articles about the phonology of a particular language
