	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template generates IPA for standard Chichewa as spoken in Malawi. It should be given one (or more if there are alternate pronunciations) parameter, a respelled version of the word which includes the following:

Acute accents (´) for underlying high tones on vowels and syllabic nasals
The character ŵ as appropriate
Syllabic m rewritten as m' (as in m'poto)
All majuscule letters converted to minuscule
Explosive /b/ and /d/ rewritten as b' and d'

Otherwise, modern spelling in Malawi as described at WT:ANY should be used. The module does not handle bv, pf, or c/ch used for ch/tch.
