Module:rad-IPA/documentation
This is the documentation page for Module:rad-IPA
This module is used to get the pronunciation estimation of a Radestrian word from a single parameter. The base generation runs backwards, due to Radestrian's 'latter bias' regarding vocalic polygraphs.
{{#invoke:rad-IPA|generate|aies}} will generate ˈa.ies, not *ˈai.ɛs, which would be spelt *aiès.
Irregular spellings are recognised in data:
{{#invoke:rad-IPA|generate|heņrecjes}} will generate ˈhɛŋɡrɛtʃɛs.
It can also handle multiple words, but they must be in the same parameter.
{{#invoke:rad-IPA|generate|ryņles u aieg}}}} will generate ˈriŋɡlɛs u ˈa.ieɡ.
If you would like the hjádvanþs standard, add true as the second parameter.
{{#invoke:rad-IPA|generate|hjas}}}} will generate ʃas.
{{#invoke:rad-IPA|generate|hjas|true}}}} will generate ʃas.
The generation runs in 6 ‘stages’:
- Base generation (one-to-one grapheme to phoneme conversion, adhering to the observed orthographical finality bias, but may still contain pseudo-phonemes)
- Vowel resolution (vowel alternations and combinations are resolved)
- Consonant resolution
- Syllabification
- Stress assignment
- Syllable resolution
