Usage
[edit]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 [m̩] and [ŋ̍] respectively.
Periods indicate intra-word syllable boundaries; hyphens (spaces) indicate word boundaries.
