{{lua|Module:IPA symbol}}
This template provides a simple conversion table from an ''IPA symbol'' '''to''' a ''Wikipedia article name''. Its direct use is probably not too meaningful, but it can be useful inside other templates, e.g. {{tl|IPA link}}. It is a meta-template.

The resulting article name should exist. The input symbol may be multiple characters.

==Usage==
This template has one parameter that is mandatory. The parameter must be an IPA symbol or a sequence of IPA symbols. A formatting template like {{tl|IPA}} is not necessary.

* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|m}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|m}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}}

Use <code>output=</code> to specify the type of the output: "name", "symbol", "article", or "audio".
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=name}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=name}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=article}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=article}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=audio}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=audio}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|w̥|output=symbol}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|w̥|output=symbol}} (returns the primarily defined symbol)

Certain symbols such as the tie bars, length marks, and dotted circle in the input are ignored so long as the rest of the input matches a definition, so that the below do not result in errors even though these individual combinations are not defined in the data.
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|aː}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|aː}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|◌ʰ}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|◌ʰ}}

If no direct match is found, the template will then look for the earliest instance of a diacritic in the input string.
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|pʰ}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|pʰ}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|pʰæ̃}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|pʰæ̃}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|pæ̃}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|pæ̃}}

A two-character diacritic takes precedence over a one-character one should they be found at the same position.
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|ʰa}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|ʰa}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|ʰpa}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|ʰpa}}

Some symbols in the input are automatically replaced by the more suitable counterparts.
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|’|output=symbol}}</nowiki></code> (right single quotation mark) → {{IPA symbol|’|output=symbol}} ([[modifier letter apostrophe]])

==Data==
The data is stored at [[Module:IPA symbol/data]]. It is divided into two groups: "sounds" and "diacritics". If no "article" is specified, the value for "name" will substitute it. A diacritic must be one or two Unicode characters. The data also stores substitution patterns for the input string.

==Errors==
If the input matches no definition in the data, an error message is returned and the page will be categorized into [[:Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention]].
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|xyz}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|xyz}}

Optionally, an error text can be altered from the default message to any text by using the second parameter (if set to <code>blank</code>, the message will not appear at all). This cancels the addition of the error category.
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|xyz|unknown}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|xyz|unknown}}
* <code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|xyz|blank}}</nowiki></code> → {{IPA symbol|xyz|blank}}

==See also==
* {{tl|IPA link}} – Displays an IPA symbol which is automatically linked to its sound article: β → {{IPA link|β}}
* {{tl|IPAblink}} – As {{tlf|IPA link}}, enclosed in '''square brackets''': {{IPAblink|β}}
* {{tl|IPAslink}} – As {{tlf|IPA link}}, enclosed in '''slashes''': {{IPAslink|β}}
* [[:Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention]]
