Displays Finnish dialectal data, including dialectal forms and synonyms if specified in data.

By default, it will try to load dialectal data from Module:fi-dialects/data/word/<WORD>, where <WORD> is the page title. Dialectal data should be classified under the standard Finnish term, if one exists. To this end, an alternative for <WORD> can be supplied as the first parameter. In addition, a second parameter may be specified to add an extra qualifier, such as {{fi-dial|WORD|SENSE}} loading data from Module:fi-dialects/data/word/WORD (SENSE).

To see an example of a dialectal data module set up correctly, see Module:fi-dialects/data/word/ilta.

Alternatively, instead of using dialectal data, a list of parishes (see Module:fi-dialects/data/parish) can be supplied with the |p= parameter, separated by commas. In this case, synonyms will not be shown, but only a list and a link to a map of dialects in which the word is used. For example, {{fi-dial|p=Vermlanti}} for a word only attested in the Värmland dialects. References/sources can be added with the |ref= parameter; see Module:fi-dialects/data/source for a list of valid values. |t= can be used to add a gloss.

The dialectal classification is based on that of the Suomen murteiden sanakirja (Dictionary of Finnish Dialects) (by Kotimaisten kielten keskus), the content of which is available under the CC BY 4.0 license.
