How to pronounce the title of this article. Use Template:Pronunciation, which has spaces for phonetic spelling and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Below the use of this template you can also embed a video or audio file where someone pronounces the term. It is preferred to have at least two of these, but we understand that's a lot of effort. If you don't have the ability to add this at the time of making the page, it's fine to just place Template:NeedsPronunciation here or at the top of the page. To make it less effort: Easypronounciation.com has an English Phonetic Spelling Generator which may be used, but users should keep in mind it may not always be accurate and the original words a term's name is derived from should always be considered.
