This template is used to produce a phonetic or phonemic representation (using the [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] system) of French words or sounds, using natural spelling to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols. The result is wikilinked to [[Help:IPA for French]]. Optionally, an audio file can also be specified.

===Usage===
The number of parameters is always limited to 50.

Normal usage:
*<code><nowiki>{{IPAc-fr|f|r|an|s|ai}}</nowiki></code> produces {{IPAc-fr|f|r|an|s|ai}}
*<code><nowiki>{{IPAc-fr|ch|e|-|m|E|s_|a|m|i}}</nowiki></code> produces {{IPAc-fr|ch|e|-|m|E|s_|a|m|i}}

With an audio file:
*<code><nowiki>{{IPAc-fr|qu|e|b|E|c|audio=FR-Québec.ogg}}</nowiki></code> produces {{IPAc-fr|qu|e|b|E|c|audio=FR-Québec.ogg}}

To change the delimiters (for example, if several instances of the template need to be strung together because of the limit on the number of parameters):
*<code><nowiki>{{IPAc-fr|[-|r|é|p|y|b|l|i|q|-|f|r|an|ç|ai|z}}</nowiki></code> produces {{IPAc-fr|[-|r|é|p|y|b|l|i|q|-|f|r|an|ç|ai|z}}
The full range of special values for the first parameter (changing the delimiters) is as follows:
*<code>-- [- -] // /- -/</code>

<!--The following parameters represent their normal sounds in French:
*<code>a ą b c ć cz d dz dź e ę f g h</code> (or <code>ch</code>) <code>i j k l ł m n ń o p r s ś sz t u</code> (or <code>ó</code>) <code>w y z ź ż</code> (or <code>rz</code>)

-->
The following parameters have special meanings:
*<code>-</code> (hyphen) for a space between words
*<code>_</code> (underscore) [[Liaison (French)|Liaison]]
*<code>'</code> (apostrophe) for a primary stress mark (placed before the stressed syllable)
*<code>N</code> for a sound like English ''ng'' (in words like ''camping'')
<!--more needed here-->

Other values used as parameters will be displayed unconverted. (The conversion system is coded in [[Template:c-fr]].)
