Template documentationUsage
Standard usage: {{IPAc-yue|initial|final|tone number}}
This template converts Jyutping to IPA, but one can also use some IPA symbols directly (listed below).
Use 'm0'/'M' and 'ng0'/'NG' for syllabic nasals [[Help:IPA/Cantonese|[m̩Template:Tone-yue]]] and [[Help:IPA/Cantonese|[ŋ̩Template:Tone-yue]]] respectively.
Periods indicate intra-word syllable boundaries; hyphens (spaces) indicate word boundaries.
