Template:Pron/doc

• {{pron|k}} yields: like skit (IPA: k)
  • This uses the default letter, in this case "k." Providing a letter, even if it matches the current default or there is no case for it, is highly recommended. Do this even for non-Latin characters for which there would never be an English example, as the parameter is used for the pronunciation help boxes.
• {{pron|k|c}} yields: like scam (IPA: k)
• {{pron|k|k|notes=only found in loanwords}} yields: like skit (only found in loanwords; IPA: k)
