P.O.S.T.M.A.N.
Welcome to POSTMAN (Pronunciation Organizing, Standardizing, and Management)!
Goals
- To add proper IPA and English respelling pronunciations to as many pages that need it.
General Pronunciation Tips
- Keep the Pronunciation Guide at hand.
- Familiarize yourself with how IPA and Respell pronunciations work, including stresses.
- Learn how to use the {{IPA}} and {{Respell}} templates.
- In the IPA template, separate syllables with a space for readability.
- With phrases that have more than one word, use each template once per word.
- Place the pronunciation at the first sentence of the article or section in the format (Pronounced {{IPA|IPA symbols}}, {{Respell|Respell symbols}})
- Words changed little from the original Japanese can be based off the Japanese Romanji if the word can't easily be converted into English sounds.
- When in doubt, a text-to-speech converter might help. But be advised that such converters aren't flawless. They can and do make mistakes. Such as not accounting for the gender of the name.
- If there's a tie between two pronunciations, list both.
