Description

This template links to Help:Pronunciation respelling key, which only covers English pronunciations. Per the Manual of Style, it should be used in addition to the IPA, not in place of it.

The template takes up to five values, {{respell|1|2|3|4|5}}. The penultimate and pre-antepenultimate cells are formatted small, so that when filled in all capital letters, the result will be small caps. Therefore, when several unstressed syllables follow each other, they need to be placed in a single cell. This does not handle final stress. For that, you will need to format by hand.

Examples:

{{respell|dis-ə|STAB|lish-mən|TAIR|ee-ə-niz-m}}.
dis-ə-STAB-lish-mən-TAIR-ee-ə-niz-m.
{{respell|AL|gə-ridh-m}}.
AL-gə-ridh-m.
{{respell|MAH|kee|MAH|kee}}.
MAH-kee-MAH-kee.
{{respell|how|MAY|ə}}.
how-MAY.
{{respell|SEER|eez}}.
SEER-eez.
{{respell|PAN}}.
