|Xa=
Pronunciation file for the variety X (i.e. m for Mandarin, c for Cantonese, etc.). If equals y, then links to zh-PINYIN.ogg for Mandarin and xxx-CHARACTERS.ogg for other varieties (where xxx is the ISO language code for the topolect); else, links to the argument.
|X_note=
A note directly below the pronunciation information for variety X.
|dial=
Dialectal pronunciations (displayed by default if available). If equals n, then display is suppressed; if a number, then displays corresponding pronunciation.
|mc=
Middle Chinese reconstructions. If equals y, then displays all readings. For character entries, if a number or a list of numbers separated by commas , or plus signs +, then displays corresponding reading(s). For multi-character entries, each character's readings, each formatted like a single character (but only with plus signs), is separated with commas ,. See (), , , , , 中國中国 (Zhōngguó), 中華中华 (Zhōnghuá), 遊戲游戏 (yóuxì) for examples.
|oc=
Old Chinese reconstructions (Baxter–Sagart and Zhengzhang). If equals y, then displays all readings. For character entries, if one number, then displays the corresponding reading in each reconstruction; if two numbers separated by a comma ,, then displays the Baxter–Sagart reading with the first number and the Zhengzhang reading with the second number (if one doesn't exist, then use n instead of a number); more than one reading number in either can be separated by a plus sign +. For multi-character entries, each character's readings, each formatted like a single character, is separated with semicolons ;. See (), , , , , 中國中国 (Zhōngguó), 中華中华 (Zhōnghuá), 遊戲游戏 (yóuxì) for examples.
cat=x,y,X:z
Parts of speech. See the table pos_aliases_cat in Module:zh-pron for aliases of category names that can be used as valid input for |cat=. X: (see |Xa= above) can be placed before a part of speech to specify a particular variety of Chinese; see (jǐn) as an example of c:part being used to sort as a Cantonese-only particle.

Since a unified Chinese approach is agreed upon, the presence of definitions in these parameters will categorize the page into the appropriate variety categories.
