Help:Pronunciation respelling key

Note that the pronunciation respelling key works only with single words. Accordingly, the pronunciation respelling key for the two words "Klasky Csupo" would be {{|KLASS|kee}} {{|CHOO|poh}}.

When a certain sound is pronounced by some speakers but not by others, the sound is put inside parentheses (round brackets). It is correct to say the word either with or without the sound. For example, the respelled pronunciation of the word fuchsia is "FEW-sh(ee)ə". It can either be pronounced "FEW-shee-ə" or "FEW-shə".
