This module implements the template {{ru-IPA}}.

Author: Originally Wyang; rewritten by Benwing; additional contributions
        from Atitarev and a bit from others

FIXME:

1. (DONE) Geminated /j/ from -йя-: treat as any other gemination, meaning it
   may not always be pronounced geminated. Currently we geminate it very late,
   after all the code that reduces geminates. Should be done earlier and
   places that include regexps with /j/ should be modified to also include
   the gemination marker ː. Words with йя: аллилу́йя, ауйяма, ва́йя, ма́йя,
   папа́йя, парано́йя, пира́йя, ра́йя, секво́йя, Гава́йям.
2. (DONE) Should have geminated jj in йе (occurs in e.g. фойе́). Should work
   with gem=y (see FIXME #1). Words with йе: фойе́, колба Эрленмейера, скала
   Айерс, Айерс-Рок, йети, Кайенна, конве́йер, конвейерный, сайентология,
   фейерверк, Гава́йев. Note also Гава́йи with йи.
3. (DONE, CINEMANTIQUE OK WITH FIXES) In Асунсьо́н and Вьентья́н, put a syllable
   break after the н and before consonant + /j/. Use the perm_syl_onset
   mechanism or at least the code that accesses that mechanism. Should
   possibly do this also in VCʲj and V‿Cʲj and VCj and V‿Cj sequences;
   ask Cinemantique if this makes sense.
4. (DONE, CINEMANTIQUE OK WITH FIXES) Fix non-palatal е in льстец.  Other
   words that will be affected (and probably wrong): льви́ца, львя́тник,
   льняно́й, льстить, льди́на, львиный, manual pronunciation given as lʲvʲit͡sə
   and lʲvʲɵnək. Ask Cinemantique.
5. (DONE, CINEMANTIQUE SAYS NO IT DOESN'T) In львёнок, rendered as ˈlʲvɵnək
   instead of ˈlʲvʲɵnək. Apparently same issue as льстец, having to do with
   ь in beginning. This apparently has to do with the "assimilative
   palatalization of consonants when followed by front vowels" code, which
   blocks palatalization when the syllable begins with a cluster with a hard
   sign, or a soft sign followed by a consonant. Then "retraction of front
   vowels in syllables blocking assimilative palatalization" converts e to ɛ
   and i to y in such cases of blocked palatalization (not needed for žcš,
   which are handled by phon_respellings). Ask Cinemantique if this whole
   business makes any sense.
6. (DONE) In prefixes/suffixes like -ин, treat single syllable word as
   unstressed. Also support tilde to force unstressed syllable.
7. (DONE) In ни́ндзя, дз becomes palatal and н should palatal-assimilate to it.
8. (DONE) In под сту́лом, should render as pɐt͡s‿ˈstuləm when actually renders as
   pɐˈt͡s‿stuləm. Also occurs in без ша́пки (bʲɪˈʂ‿ʂapkʲɪ instead of
   bʲɪʂ‿ˈʂapkʲɪ); has something to do with ‿. Similarly occurs in
   не к ме́сту, which should render as nʲɪ‿k‿ˈmʲestʊ, and от я́блони, which
   should render as ɐt‿ˈjæblənʲɪ.
9. (STILL UNCLEAR) In собра́ние, Anatoli renders it as sɐˈbranʲɪ(j)ə with
   optional (j). Ask him when this exactly applies. Does it apply in all ɪjə
   sequences? Only word-finally? Also ijə?
10. (DONE) убе́жищa renders as ʊˈbʲeʐɨɕːʲə instead of ʊˈbʲeʐɨɕːə; уда́ча
   similarly becomes ʊˈdat͡ɕʲə instead of ʊˈdat͡ɕə.
10a. (DONE) Remove the "offending clause" just mentioned, labeled FIXME (10a),
   and fix it as the comment above it describes.
10b. (DONE) Remove the clause labeled "FIXME (10b)".
10c. (DONE) Investigate the clause labeled "FIXME (10c)".  This relates to
   FIXME #9 above concerning собра́ние.
10d. (DONE, NEEDS TESTING) Investigate the clause labeled "FIXME (10d)"
   and apply the instructions there about removing a line and seeing
   whether anything changes.
11. (DONE) тро́лль renders with geminated final l, and with ʲ on wrong side of
   gemination (ːʲ instead of ʲː); note how this also occurs above in -ɕːʲə
   from убе́жищa. (This issue with тро́лль will be masked by the change to
   generally degeminate l; use фуррь; note also галльский.)
12. (DONE, NEEDS TESTING) May be additional errors with gemination in
    combination with explicit / syllable boundary, because of the code
	expecting that syllable breaks occur in certain places; should probably
	rewrite the whole gemination code to be less fragile and not depend on
	exactly where syllable breaks occur in consonant clusters, which it does
	now (might want to rewrite to avoid the whole business of breaking by
	syllable and processing syllable-by-syllable).
13. Many assimilations won't work properly with an explicit / syllable
   boundary.
14. (DONE, ASK WYANG FOR ITS PURPOSE) Eliminate pal=y. Consider first asking
   Wyang why this was put in originally.
15. (DONE) Add test cases: Цю́рих, от а́ба, others.
15a. (DONE) Add test cases: фуррь, по абази́ну (for assimilation of schwas
    across ‿)
15b. (DONE) Add test case англо-норма́ннский (to make sure degemination of нн
    occurs when not between vowels), multi-syllable word ending in a geminate:
	ато́лл (not so good because лл always degeminated), коло́сс, Иоа́нн (good
	because of нн), ха́ос, эвфеми́зм, хору́гвь (NOTE: ruwikt claims гв is voiced,
	I doubt it, ask Cinemantique), наря́д на ку́хню (non-devoicing of д before
	н in next word, ask Cinemantique about this, does it also apply to мрл?),
	ко̀е-кто́
16. (DONE, ADDED SPECIAL HACK; REMOVED WITH NEW FINAL-Е CODE, SHOULD HANDLE
    THROUGH pos=pro; DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SECONDARY STRESS ON О)
	Caused a change in ко̀е-кто́, perhaps because I rewrote code that accepted
	an acute or circumflex accent to also take a grave accent. See how кое is
	actually pronounced here and take action if needed. (ruwiki claims кое is
	indeed pronounced like кои, ask Cinemantique what the rule for final -е
	is and why different in кое vs. мороженое, anything to do with secondary
	stress on о?)
17. (DONE) Rewrote voicing/devoicing assimilation; should make assimilation of
    эвфеми́зм automatic and not require phon=.
18. (DONE) Removed redundant fronting-of-a code near end; make sure this
    doesn't change anything.
19. (DONE, ANSWER IS YES) do сь and зь assimilate before шж, and
    if so do they become ɕʑ? Ask Cinemantique.
20. (DONE) Add pos= to handle final -е. Possibilities appear to be neut
    (neuter noun), adj (adjective, autodetected whether singular or plural),
	comp (comparative), pre (prepositional case), adv (adverb), verb or v (2nd
	plural verb forms).
21. (DONE, DEVOICE UNLESS NEXT WORD BEGINS WITH VOICED OBSTRUENT OR V+VOICED
    OBSTRUENT) Figure out what to do with devoicing or non-devoicing before
	mnrlv vowel. Apparently non-devoicing before vowel is only in fast speech
	with a close juncture and Anatoli doesn't want that; but what about before
	the consonants?
22. (DONE) Figure out what to do with fronting of a and u after or between
	soft consonants, esp. when triggered by a following soft consonant with
	optional or compulsory assimilation. Probably the correct thing to do
	in the case of optional assimilation is to give two pronunciations
	separated by commas, one with non-front vowel + hard consonant, the
	other with front vowel + soft consonant.
23. (DONE, OK) Implement compulsory assimilation of xkʲ; ask Cinemantique to
    make sure this is correct.
24. (DONE, BUT ANATOLI THINKS CONJUNCTION A MIGHT NOT BE REDUCED) Add а to
    list of unstressed particles, but only recognize it and о (and perhaps all
	the others) when not followed by a hyphen; then fix unnecessary cases with
	о̂ (look at tracking cflex category) and the various hacks used in а ведь,
	а сейчас, а то, а не то, а также, а как же; will need to add а̂ to а капелла
	and possibly elsewhere; use different-pron tracking to catch this.
25. (DONE) Add / before цз, чж in Chinese words to ensure syllable boundary in
    right place; ensure that this doesn't mess things up when occurring at
	beginning of word or whatever.
26. (DONE) Rule on voicing assimilation before v: It says in Chew "A
    Computational Phonology of Russian" that v is an obstruent before
	obstruents and a sonorant before sonorants, i.e. v triggers voicing
	assimilation if followed by an obstruent; verify that our code works this
	way.
27. (DONE, NEEDS TESTING) Implement _ to block all assimilation; probably this
    will happen automatically and we just need to remove the _ at the end.
28. (NOT DONE, NOT CORRECT) Change unstressed palatal o to have values like
    regular o, for words like майора́т, Ога́йо, Йоха́ннесбург
29. (DONE) If we need partial reduction of non-final е/я to [ə] instead of [ɪ],
    one way is to use another diacritic, e.g. dot-under; or use a spelling
	like ьа.
30. (DONE) BUG: воѐнно-морско́й becomes [vɐˌenːə mɐrˈskoj] without [je], must be
    due to ѐ being a composed character (may be a bug in the translit module;
	add a test case).
31. In в Япо́нии, в Евро́пе, the initial [j] should be required not optional.
32. (DONE) Should be possible to write п(ь)я́нка, скам(ь)я́ and get optional
    palatalization.
33. (CODE PRESENT BUT NOT COMPLETED) Final unstressed -е that becomes [e]
    should become [ɪ] when not followed by end of utterance or pause.
34. In То́гане (phon=То́ганэ), final -э should be pronounced [e]. Should apply
    in general to -э after paired consonants, but not to e.g. се́рдце.
35. (DONE) тц,дц,тч,дч shoud be always-geminated by default.
36. (DONE) treat ! and ? as separate words so we don't have issues with
    word-final -е before them.
37. (DONE) Distinguish stress accents from other accents.
38. т(ь)ся not directly after the stress should be optionally geminated.
39. (DONE) нра̀вственно-эти́ческий should have optional not mandatory gemination
    of нн.
40. (DONE) Make дц in -дцат- be optionally-geminated, for words like
    одиннадцать, двадцать, тридцатый, etc.
41. (DONE) Don't show grave accents in annotations (but do in phon=).
42. (DONE) -чш- (as in лучший) should be pronounced as -тш-.
43. (DONE) Fix fronting of [au] in two syllables in a row.
44. (DONE) Add pos=imp for imperatives, use it to treat -ться differently from
    infinitives.
45. (DONE) CFLEX should not be treated as stress for the purpose of determining
    whether written а reduces to [ɐ] or [ə].
46. (DONE) Fix [дт]ьт, [сз]ьс sequences (esp. in imperatives) and make
    palatalization of labials optional in [мбпфв]ь[ст][еияёю] (again esp. in
    imperatives).
47. (DONE) Optional palatalization of -ся should apply only to -лся, not always.
48. (DONE) Reduction of стл -> сл should apply only in стлив, not always.
49. (DONE) Convert счит -> щит by default, as with счёт.
50. (DONE) Don't require that m_ru_translit.apply_tr_fixes() be called prior
    to ipa(), but include an argument so that text transformed this way can
    be passed in.
51. (DONE) pos=X/Y and gem=X/Y should require same number of elements as actual
    words rather than counting phonetically-joined words.
52. (DONE) Should treat suffixes as beginning with a palatalizable pseudo-
    consonant, so e.g. initial -е is indicated as palatalization of the
    preceding consonant rather than being preceding by [j], and initial -а is
    rendered as [ə] not [ɐ].
53. (DONE) Should treat prefixes as followed by a pseudoconsonant that doesn't
    trigger voicing or devoicing of preceding consonants.
54. (DONE) Don't add ‿ after prefixes like из-.
55. Suffix -ёр is rendered as unstressed rather than stressed; probably because
    the transliteration doesn't preserve the stress mark.
56. (DONE) -дцат- should be pronounced as if -дцыт-.
57. (DONE) вь (and other palatalized labials) + /j/ should have optional
    patalization.
58. (DONE) Convert unstressed initial э- into и-.
59. (DONE) Implement automatic generation of secondary [ʑː] pronunciation for
    зж/жж except as prefix boundaries; add zhpal= to override this.
60. (DONE) When checking for prefix boundaries, check all listed prefixes +
    those prefixes preceded by по-, не- or непо- (cf. поссо́рить, порассужда́ть,
    нерассуди́тельный, etc.).
