WikiProject Phonetics aims to make sure the phonetics and phonology related topics on Wikipedia are covered completely and consistently.

[edit] Structure

The main page for this project is list of phonetics topics. Please add phonetics topics to this page.

[edit] Language phonologies

The entries in bold are separate phonology articles, the others phonology sections in language articles. Section headers and bottom or middle-level divisions of the tree link to proto-languages, where available.

The current standard suggested for phonology articles titles is XXX phonology. Please feel free to convert the articles to the naming standard and the phonology template. The entries in bold should all be in Category:Language phonologies and should bear the template {{Language phonologies}}.

Apart from those listed above:

• Proto-Dené-Caucasian

[edit] 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.

[edit] Templates

• {{WikiProject Phonetics}} - for use on the talk pages of articles relating to this WikiProject
• {{Vowels}} - a table of all the cardinal vowels of the International Phonetic Association
• {{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.
• {{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.
• {{Pronounced}}, {{Pron-en}}, {{IPA-all}}, {{IPA-en}}, and other IPA-xx templates: variations of {{IPA}} which link to IPA keys and may be used with audio files
• Stub type: {{phonetics-stub}} / Cat: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

[edit] External links

• The official homepage of the International Phonetic Association
• A guide to the Handbook of the IPA - Includes recordings of all the phonologies in the handbook.
• UCLA Phonetic Data - Recordings of a wide range of sounds in various languages.
• EGG and Voice Quality - site on electroglottography, phonation, & related topics
• UPSID languages - An inventory of some 500 languages and their phonemes; a very useful tool for checking how common certain sounds are.
