This template is for English words only. For notating pronunciation of non-English words that have not been assimilated into English, use the IPA template for the respective language. In addition, the template is merely to augment the IPA but never to replace it, and therefore should not be used alone without an IPA notation preceding it. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation for more on showing pronunciation on Wikipedia. If you need help transcribing the pronunciation into the IPA, please ask at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language. |

This template formats pronunciation respellings of English words. It puts the input in italics, hyphenates each value so it will represent a syllable, and links to Help:Pronunciation respelling key. Stressed syllables are input in uppercase and will appear slightly smaller than usual uppercase letters.
Notation must be spelled accordingly to the respelling key at Help:Pronunciation respelling key. For example, the word pronunciation (IPA: /prəˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃən/) is respelled prə-NUN-see-AY-shən; using this template, the formatting is:
{{respell|prə|NUN|see|AY|shən}}
→ prə-NUN-see-AY-shən
