Dude[[tte?]], sorry your username got taken. Nice to see you around... [[User:Sj|+sj]] [[User Talk:Sj|+]]

Hi mate, was wondering if you'd seen [[WP:AFL|WikiProject AFL]] - also look at [[:Category:VFL/AFL players]] and [[AFL Season 2006]]. [[User:TheRealAntonius|TheRealAntonius]] 12:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

==About the [[:Image:Latin_alphabet_world_distribution.png|Latin alphabet distribution map]]==
Hi,

I think [[Romaji]] cannot be considered a proper “official” [[Japanese language|Japanese]] script because in the everyday Japan's life Romaji-written Japanese language magazines or newspapers can't be found on [[newsstand]]s or advertising — when the Latin alphabet is used, generally the language used is [[English language|English]]. And the government seems not support this script, too: as far as I know, official documents can only be written in tradicinal Japanese scripts.

Best regards,

== IPA-en ==

Hi Xyzzyva, 

I've noticed a couple articles with IPA "{{IPA|aɪ̪}}" for the English sound ''eye.'' I don't know if they were all from you, but in [[Jim Eisenreich]] you used a dental diacritic rather than a non-syllabic diacritic. (You're probably using a font where the look about the same.) Anyway, if you follow the link at {{tl|pron-en}} or {{tl|IPA-en}}, you'll see we transcribe this with just {{IPA|aɪ}}, without any diacritic but with a period if we need to separate it from another vowel. I'm cleaning up our IPA, and this isn't something I set AWB up to detect, so I thought I'd let you know just in case there were others. (Actually, I've been ignoring cases where the non-syllabic diacritic was used, but the dental might confuse people.)

Happy editing, [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 08:17, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for cleaning up all those missing IPAs! [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 21:49, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

(PS. I was heading over here to thank you when I noticed you've occasionally used IPAr. We're trying to clean that up so that it's only used for auto-conversions from orthography, currently Polish only. The main reason is that there are more transclusions of IPAr than AWB can handle (AWB has a 25,000-article limit), which means that we can't maintain the formatting of anything that isn't auto-converted. Pron & IPA-all are only a couple thou each, and so are manageable.)

== Euboea ==

Thank you for adding the IPA to the article. However, you wrote that Evia is "pronounced /ˈɛviːɑː/", and that left me in the state of utter confusion – how come that those unstressed vowels are ''long''??? I can barely pronounce it written that way, and it sounds very un-English (sort of like Finnish). Did you perhaps mean "/ˈɛviɑ/"? [[User:No such user|No such user]] ([[User talk:No such user|talk]]) 07:51, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry for the confusion, I was working directly off of [[Wikipedia:IPA for English]], where they make many length distinctions that don't exist in my dialect ([[General American|GA]]), so I likely hypercorrected.  Now that I look at it again, I think the best transcription would be /ˈɛviɑː/, with the second syllable short.  The third syllable needs the length mark, since if it were shortened it'd also be reduced to a schwa (a legitimate-enough-sounding pronunciation, which likely often happens among those who actually talk about this place in English).  Perhaps the third syllable should have a secondary stress mark, though I'm reticent to use those except in compound words.  Thanks for pointing out my slipup!  [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 03:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
::One question would be, Does "Evvoia" even have an English pronunciation? Maybe it does, I've just only seen "Euboea" except in Greek transliteration, but if it did, I'd expect the {{IPA|/ˈɛviə/}} that you suggest above. [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 05:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

== English IPA approximations ==

Hi Xyzzyva - if you're looking for some more work to do on IPA templates, some of them still need English approximations (if this is within your sphere of knowledge), to make them accessible to the reader.  [[Wikipedia:IPA for Hungarian|Hungarian]] is one; Italian is another; you may find more.  It seems to be standard now to use these templates (rather than "IPA-all") whenever applicable, so the sooner the better really for the English approximations.

Thanks for doing that.  I was going to add the stress mark (to the old version), but couldn't find a way to do it neatly.  The Danish key still needs a mention of stress.

== Spanish IPA ==

Hi Xyzzyva,

I noticed that you've added lots of IPA with (soft) ‹c› and ‹z› represented as voiceless dental fricatives on pages regarding Latin American places, people and events. At first, I thought this was a mistake, but then I saw the earlier discussion you had with SamEV. I'm a bit confused - where is this policy outlined? What would be the appropriate venue to open a dialogue about possibly changing it?

Certainly, there are lots of peculiarities in regional pronunciations so I understand the need/desire to use broad transcription, but for me that does not mean representing a sound that, by the numbers, is only used by a relatively tiny minority of speakers of the language. In some regions of the world, ‹h› is preserved in certain positions, but at [[Havana]], it still says "[la aˈβana]". I agree that it is unrealistic to represent all the peculiarities of regional pronunciation, but the use of ‹θ› to represent ‹c› and ‹z› appears glaring to me, an imposition of European pronunciations on a continent of people who would never say things like that. --[[User:Node ue|ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ]] ([[User talk:Node ue|talk]]) 19:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

:Hi Xyzzyva,

:I don't believe the pronunciation of ‹h› in some rural areas is the reason for keeping the letter in the official orthography, since the conservative varieties are not prestige varieties. I think it's more of a historical spelling nowadays. WRT the pronunciation of r, I think that's a considerably different situation as a far greater percentage of (native) English speakers conserve it than do the voiceless dental fricative in Spanish (although I do think it's odd to see it in placenames where it's not locally pronounced). --[[User:Node ue|ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ]] ([[User talk:Node ue|talk]]) 21:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Xyzzyva,<br>
I've noticed you adding IPA transcriptions of Dutch names, and doing a very good job at it. My compliments. I would like to correct you on one small thing though: the pronunciation of 'van' is not {{IPA|[vɐn]}} but {{IPA|[vɑn]}}.

Kindest regards, [[User:TaalVerbeteraar|TaalVerbeteraar]] ([[User talk:TaalVerbeteraar|talk]]) 20:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
: In response to your writing on my talk page: I would guess that the contributor who wrote that ɐ is an allophone for /ɑ/, meant that it is ''in Afrikaans''. I have certainly never heard of that use in Dutch. As for the use of ɐ as an allophone of unstressed /a/ and as a marginal vowel: I will look into that, it might well be possible. I will raise the issue on the talk page when I find out. - [[User:TaalVerbeteraar|TaalVerbeteraar]] ([[User talk:TaalVerbeteraar|talk]]) 12:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Well done, and thank you.

I'm tellin ya, Bro, the Spanish way to pronounce his last name is not Bar'''den'''. Spanish is very clear on the rules to pronounce any word (including last names) that ends with an *M*. It's EMMM not EN. Its a foreign name not object for English translation, [[User:Jrod2|Jrod2]] ([[User talk:Jrod2|talk]]) 00:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Like I said in the commented-out comment in the article, Spanish doesn't contrast the nasal consonants {{IPA|/m, n, ɲ/}} in word-final position.

== Chuí ==

The correct (and only) pronunciation of this word is [ʃuˈi], due to the [[acute accent]] in the vowel ''i''. In this case, the hiatus is the only possibility for this word in the Portuguese language.

There is a source for this explanation (see http://www.parana-online.com.br/colunistas/29/70674/?postagem=DICAS+PARA+SE+FALAR+E+ESCREVER+BEM+O+PORTUGUES - in Portuguese). There is a phrase: '''Em Chuí, há um hiato.''' (In Chuí, there is a hiatus (translated)).

Portuguese is my first language and I live 150 miles away from Chuí (I have been there many times, of course...).

==IPA-pt==
Hi Xyzzyva, I've seen you are doing some minor mistakes in the transcription of Portuguese. I think you are not fully aware of the syllabification rules of Portuguese.

Syllabication, diphthongs & hiatus don't work as in Spanish or Italian, for example Plínio is trisyllabic |pli.ni.u| ~ {{IPA|pt|ˈplĩniu|}} (stress marks it is a [[proparoxytone]] word), while Spanish Plinio is bisyllabic |pli.nio| ~ {{IPA|es|ˈplinjo|}}. Would you mind checking your transcriptions and correct them if you can.
I've already corrected some; like [[Plínio Salgado]], [[Maria Bethânia]], [[Rondônia]], [[Morro da Babilônia]], [[Portal da Transparência]], [[Bolsa Família]], [[Palácio da Luz]], [[Inconfidência Mineira]], [[Lampião]], etc. Thanks.

Hi, this is probably unnecessary unearthing of old dirt, but I feel it necessary to point out a number of errors in your conversion of German into IPA [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Low_Lusatian_German&action=historysubmit&diff=308338881&oldid=305511469 here] (for example, the insertion of word-initial /w/ as "standard German", when it in fact is not at all; ignoring [[German phonology#Ich-Laut and ach-Laut|ich-Laut and ach-Laut]]; improper stress). While it is certainly appreciated that you help out with such transcriptions, you may want to stick with languages that you know well enough to feel comfortable in the accuracy of your transcription.

== New Madrid Seismic Zone ==

Hi Xyzzyva, to avoid any further confusion, I wanted to let you know that your IPA is incorrect for the region.  I understand your desire to change IPA to match British or East Coast dialect, but the local dialect pronounces it very differently.  I live here (my house is in an area on the map in question).  I know how the local region pronounces the area in question.  "Nyoo" is not used by anyone in the area, except those who have moved here from distant states or other countries.  This is a local geographic region and the dominant local pronunciation is the correct one, not the idealized or originating pronunciation.  

"N-oo" with /uː/ as is in "boot" is the dominant pronunciation.  No one uses /juː/ in the region and counting on someone understanding whether or not Yod Dropping is happening in the region is an unreasonable burden on the reader.  The local dialect / pronunciation takes precedence.

"Madrid" is not pronounced "Ma-drid" with a short "a" as in "Apple." and stress on the first syllable.  The stress is on the second syllable, making the "a" either an /ɒ/ or /ʌ/ sound depending on the speaker. /æ/ is absolutely incorrect and used by no one.  The final "i" is not pronounced as a short "E," it is always a short "i", which is "ɪ".  "ɪ" is absolutely correct and "ɨ" is only correct if you count the receiving pronunciation as "ɪ".   Why sow confusion and not put the actual pronunciation IPA.

Also, I apologize, I didn't mean to sound harsh in the edit history.

:No worries about sounding harsh, that is a risk of edit summaries that I skirt myself sometimes.  Now, a couple points.  One, when push comes to shove, we need a source for the pronunciation (though I can't find any...)—the fact that either of us lives near enough to ''know'' isn't enough.  Everything I can find on the web agrees that the first syllable is stressed and rhymes with ''mad'', but it's all discussion forums and the like, not particularly reliable.

:Two, you might want to familiarize yourself with [[diaphoneme|diaphonemic]] [[broad transcription]]s, as that is what has been established as the consensus for [[WP:IPA for English|our transcriptions of English]].  In this case, no one cares that the outside reader pronounces the ''New'' in ''New Madrid'' like the locals do; everyone should just pronounce it as they otherwise do.  This is a recurrent enough problem with that policy that the {{tl|IPAc-en}} template has an input of ‹nj› that outputs '' 'n' as in 'new' ''.  If you wish to change this consensus, you should take it up [[Wikipedia talk:IPA for English|here]].

:Three, I'm a little unclear as to your preference: here you say it should be stressed on the second syllable, not the first—which would make it exactly homophonous with the city in Spain: {{IPA|en|məˈdrɪd|}}—but your edit puts the stress on the first.

:Four, /ɨ/ is not /i/.  It is another convention of that key, used for unstressed vowels that are more or less [ɪ] for speakers who distinguish vowel height in reduced vowels, and [ə] for those who don't. [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 17:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

:: I'm not sure what you mean by rhymes with ''mad'' - do you mean it IS ''mad''?  I've occasionally heard people stress the first syllable as "MA-drid," and they are almost always from the East Coast or the UK (seems to go along with the US and UK differences of Garage, Massage, etc...).  You are absolutely write in point 3, I had the stress mark on the wrong syllable... not sure what happened there, I think it was because I was thinking it was on the second already due to "New" being in there.  I changed the stress mark.

:: I couldn't find anything on a quick read through of the {{tl|IPAc-en}} page about the template output - I'm a little confused on what you're saying, are you saying the template transcripes <nj> as 'n' or the other way around?  

:: With regards to /ɨ/ I can't find that in the IPA key, do you have a link?

:: For an authoritative source on pronunciation of the area, what qualifies in a circumstance like this?  Perhaps I can find an authoritative source locally and see if that can be verified online somehow.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Nitrowolf|Nitrowolf]] ([[User talk:Nitrowolf|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Nitrowolf|contribs]]) 23:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:::Yeah, I realized that right after I saved it—the first syllable is the same as ''mad''.  Just to be clear, are you arguing that's it's pronounced the same as the city in Spain?

:::That template, if you input ‹nj› into a single cell, outputs /nj/ with a mouseover text of'' 'n' as in 'new', ''as it does with /dj/, /tj/, etc., to make it clear that those who yod-drop should do so, and not edit the page to remove the /j/ that non-yod-droppers need to pronounce it correctly.  Analogously, there are occasional moves to remove the /r/ from placenames in non-rhotic areas.  Actually, the table that that template uses is at {{tl|H:IPA}}.

:::/ɨ/ is in the ''Reduced Vowels'' section of [[WP:IPA for English#Key|that key]], at the bottom of the vowel box.

:::Citations are difficult on pronunciations.  I see it as a sliding scale.  The gold standard is an entry in a good dictionary (or for a person's name, a clip of them saying it themself).  The lowest reliability I ever bother to include as a citation is something from [[Forvo]].  Somewhere in the middle is probably the best we can expect on a topic like this, a use (not an explicit comment on pronunciation) in a news report or geology lecture.

:::I should also mention, whatever pronunciation we settle on should be propagated to the other [[New Madrid]] pages, unless we have reason to believe that the fault has acquired a distinct pronunciation.  [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 17:32, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Not exactly citable, but if you call the [http://www.new-madrid.mo.us/index.aspx?nid=32 New Madrid Chamber of Commerce], their voicemail clearly says {{IPA|[nu ˈmædrɨd]}}.  [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 17:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

::::: Yes, the same as the city in Spain.  Although, I did check the Chamber of Commerce voice mail and it's hard to argue with that, but I've not heard it pronounced like that other than on that voice mail.  Maybe I'll call there later today when they open and see if they have any insight on that.  If we want to use that as the most official source until something better comes along, then that works for me, although I've never been or met anyone from New Madrid, MO, so maybe they have their own pronunciation thing going.  But barring anything more definitive, that seems like the best bet.  

::::: As for the template, I'm not sure, when referencing a proper name, it applies.  Are there precedents as far as that goes?

::::: /ɨ/ is showing in my edit box differently than it does on the Key page, that is very strange.  In my edit box, there is two horizontal lines (one in the middle and one on the bottom) on the ɨ and on the key page there is only one (the one in the middle).  There is also a hitch at the top of the i, just under the dot. On the key page it's not there, either.  So that was the source of my confusion as to what was being referenced.  

::::: So in summary, I propose the IPA key as /nuː'mædrɪd/.  I still don't see the final "i" being /ɨ/ as as all variations of the pronunciation agree on /ɪ/ as the final "i".  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Nitrowolf|Nitrowolf]] ([[User talk:Nitrowolf|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Nitrowolf|contribs]]) 14:17, 3 January 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==William Jewell College==
Hello Xyzzyva, I removed the claim the William Jewell College was the first four-year men's college west of the Mississippi. It wasn't even the fist in Missouri. I have contacted the school to remove that claim from their webpage yesterday. You used that as a source to restore the claim to Wikipedia. Both [[Saint Louis University]] (then St. Louis College) and the University of Missouri were at the time 4-year men's colleges and did not yet allow women (even in the normal schools). In addition, there were other colleges before William Jewell that no longer exist. This is covered in many early histories of Missouri (Switizler's being my favorite). In addition you can find a interesting compilation of historical and extant Missouri colleges at [http://www2.westminster-mo.edu/wc_users/homepages/staff/brownr/missouriCC.htm here.] For now I will leave the claim in, but with a caveat.

My changes reflect accurate information, and I even provided much stronger sources and arguments (as compared to supporting a wide-spread misconception). My edit acknowledges that it is called that, though based on misconception. The fact is that it's not a matter of pronunciation or choice spelling, as that people would not say it that way or spell it that way IF THEY KNEW BETTER - but people think it REALLY IS spelled that way. It is a misspelling, though a VERY common one. PLEASE read the arguments I posted on the talk page (last section under the "Sherbet (US) contains milk or milkfat while Sorbet does not" section). I am just as "right" as you are, but with more technical accuracy (I acknowledge what is common, but you are refusing to acknowledge my facts), and with very solid sources (versus some girl saying "Oh, yeah I say it this way" -- which is just more evidence of this misconception. If you read that article down all the way, you will see strong points for "sherbert" which are in GROSS error, in contrast to further arguments on the same page which are strongly advocating the correct spelling, with STRONG evidence, e.g. any sherbet product sold anywhere at any store).

I know that this is a painful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift Paradigm Shift] for a lot of people stuck on this misconception, but it is an accurate one; and as an encyclopedia, if it is to be documented at all anywhere, then this is the place for it. As you can see from the article that YOU referenced (if you look at all of it), there is PLENTY of evidence of this being a strong misconception which has caused MUCH stir on the topic. It deserves to come to light in its accuracy. Perhaps this misconception can be fixed by people who go to a source of information to find what is "actually" true. It is then up to that person to decide if they want to just stick with their way anyway, but we cannot let that attitude get in the way of accurate information.

However, to meet half-way, since your point is valid (people DO say it that way) but mine is too (and certainly no less so), I have revised it to be less abrasive in paradigm-shift and worded it more diplomatically. Let's work on this together until we have a satisfactory version.

Thank you,

:I'm responding to you here since I'm not sure you'll see what goes on your anon talkpage.  I did not revert those changes as vandalism, I reverted them as being unhelpful, as they unnecessarily introduce POV.  Terms like ''mispronounce'', ''misspell'', etc., are [[linguistic prescription|linguistic prescriptivism]].  The facts on the ground are: 1) that Americans often (perhaps usually) pronounce the word /ˈʃɜrbərt/; 2) the presence of a rhotic in the second syllable naturally leads to a desire to include an ‹r›; 3) according to the Wiktionary entry ''[[wikt:sherbert|sherbert]]'' at least, that spelling is actually standard in Australia and New Zealand;  4) the spelling ''sherbet'' is nonetheless most common on product packaging in the US; 5) if we want to preference the "true original form", the word is {{lang|ar|شربة}}.  All of this is why I worded it to present ''sherbet'' first, with ''sherbert'' there as a common variant.  Wikipedia is not here to provide complete etymological and usage detail, that's why we have Wiktionary.  [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 05:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

== Pronunciation of Miami, Oklahoma ==

I noticed you changed the pronunciation information used in the [[Miami, Oklahoma]] article after I cited it as an example in the discussion at [[Talk:Norfolk, Virginia]]. According to the Miami, Oklahoma article, the city derives its name and pronuncitiation thereof from the [[Miami Tribe of Oklahoma]], and I would encourage you to consult the IPA pronunciation key already used in the article on the tribe in order to ensure that the correct local pronunciation of the city's name is accurately reflected in its Wikipedia article. With respect to the [[Norfolk, Virginia]] article, I do not really have an opinion on the correct pronunciation having a tendency to use more than one for Norfolk, but since my parents moved to Miami, Oklahoma in 2000, I discovered that local residents are very particular about the correct pronunciation of the city's name and I myself have used it since then. --[[User:TommyBoy|TommyBoy]] ([[User talk:TommyBoy|talk]]) 07:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

== Duke of Caxias ==

You should take a look at [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account]]. Looking at your [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Xyzzyva history log] all I can see is that the sole thing you did in here is to add IPA to every single article. We are not supposed to teach readers how to pronounce every single foreign name. Even less when the name "Caxias" is easily pronounceable in English. I'm not going to force readers to pronounce it in Portuguese. This is not the Portuguese Wikipedia, but the English Wikipedia. I could understand an explanation of how we should pronounce it if it was written in an alphabet that is unreadable to the average English speaking reader. This is not the case. I'm going to ask you to stop your crusade to add IPA to every article you see. --[[User:Lecen|Lecen]] ([[User talk:Lecen|talk]]) 00:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

== Pronunciation of Norfolk, Va. ==

Hello.  In December you changed the pronunciation given for "Norfolk" from 

::(/ˈnɒ:ˌfʊk/ {{respell|NAW|fuuk}}<ref>The final vowel is the same as that in the name "Crowfoot".)</ref> or {{respell|NOR|fək}} or {{respell|NOR|fik}})

to 

:: ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|n|ɔr|f|ʉ|k}} {{respell|NOR|fuuk}}) 

with the explanation, 

::''(Changed IPA to take into account the purported local preference while conforming to the transcription key)''

I wrote the former description, and I disagree with the change, but I want to discuss it with you, rather than aggressively reverting your work.  Neither of us cites (or, presumably, ''can'' cite) any authority for our respective descriptions, but I grew up in Newport News, Va., across the water from Norfolk, I lived and worked in Norfolk from 1987 to 1999, and I frequently return to the area and converse with its inhabitants.  Absent published authority, I think that gives me at least the right to an opinion on the subject.

The predominant local pronunciation (which I would maintain is always the ''correct'' pronunciation of any place-name, and not merely a "preference") is still non-rhotic, even among people whose speech is otherwise rhotic, such as news readers on local television.  Thus, the first pronunciation offered for the name should be /ˈnɒ:ˌfʊk/.  Heavy influence from rhotic speakers, through immigration (mainly from other parts of the U.S.) into the area, and through the mass media, is gradually replacing /ˈnɒ:ˌfʊk/ with competing rhotic pronunciations, /ˈnɔrˌfək/ (occasionally /ˈnɔrˈ                                                                                                                                                                                                                   fo.k/),preferred by adult immigrants; and  /ˈnɔrˌfik/, preferred by native children and young adults.  I'm a little perplexed by your use of ʉ for the last vowel(using the audio examples at http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm as my guide); but maybe you give that symbol a different interpretation?

Your explanation raises a separate issue with respect to "conforming to the transcription key".  I gather that has to do with Wikipedian standards for IPA notation, and I confess ignorance on that matter, so I'd appreciate your educating me about that.

If you'd care to respond, please do it here, rather than on my Talk page, so we won't have to switch back and forth to follow the conversation.  I'm watching this page, so I'll see your response.

Respectfully,

[[User:Jdcrutch|<tt>''J.&nbsp;D.&nbsp;Crutchfield''</tt>]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jdcrutch|Talk]] 17:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)


::Thanks for bringing this up for discussion, and sorry for the delayed response.

::I was not aware local rhotic speakers used a nonrhotic pronunciation of this name (IMO it seems a little affected, but that's irrelevant).  I would disagree that the local pronunciation is always '''the''' correct one, but it ''is'' always '''a''' correct one.  If local rhotic speakers do not traditionally pronounce the {{IPA|/r/}}, that's worth indicating.  But ''non''local rhotic speakers certainly do pronounce the {{IPA|/r/}}, and that's worth indicating too—especially since the main thing we're trying to show to nonlocals is that the second vowel isn't {{IPAc-en|oʊ}}.  But we can't get lost in the weeds of local accent variation: your {{IPA|/ɒː/}} almost certainly corresponds to the local speaker's {{IPAc-en|ɔr}} or {{IPAc-en|ɔː}}—that is, it's same vowel they'd use in the word {{smallcaps|NORTH}}, right?

::Now for the second syllable variation.  This use of {{IPA|[ʉ]}} is a peculiarity of the [[Help:IPA for English]] key: it's a [[diaphoneme]] for a sound that varies between {{IPA|/ʊ/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}}, often even for the same speaker; similarly, {{IPAc-en|ɨ}} is used for a sound variable between {{IPA|/ɪ/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}}, as many speakers don't distinguish these sounds in reduced syllables.  These are some of the many such peculiarities of that transcription guide, which is why we try to always link such transcriptions to the key with templates like {{template|IPAc-en}}—most users are going to need some explanation.  The template also helps editors keep the transcription in line with the key, should a change in the preferred style occur.  Meanwhile, the respelling system described at [[WP:Pronunciation respelling key]] and enclosed in the template {{template|respell}} are used only as secondary transcriptions.  [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 00:46, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

:::Thanks for that helpful response.  Traditionally, Virginians east of the mountains have pronounced both {{smallcaps|NORTH}} and {{smallcaps|NORFOLK}} with {{IPA|/ɒ/}}, rather than with {{IPA|/ɔ/}}.  It's a closer, lower back-vowel than {{IPA|/ɔ/}}.  I can't think of an example of it in English RP, but in American Broadcast English it's closer to the vowel in ''law'' than that in ''lore''.  (Those words rhyme in most traditional, non-rhotic, East-Coast American accents, as in RP, but not in American Broadcast.)  In {{smallcaps|NORFOLK}}, the first vowel actually sounds as if it were going to be followed by an [l] (i.e., L, which would not be pronounced, other than by modifying the vowel, as in {{smallcaps|WALFORD}}). 

:::Not quite sure where you come down on the second vowel.  I agree that it's roughly correct to say it can vary between {{IPA|/ʊ/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}}, but I'd still rather present it as {{IPA|/ʊ/}} than as {{IPA|[ʉ]}}, first, because the pronunciation assigned to {{IPA|[ʉ]}} in the audio examples at http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm doesn't sound at all like {{IPA|/ʊ/}} or {{IPA|/ə/}}; and, second, because I want to discourage the widespread impression that it's pronounced {{IPA|/ʌ/}}, as in the old sailors' joke, "We don't smoke, nor drink, {{IPA|ˈnɔɹˌfʌk}}."  It's closer to the vowel in {{smallcaps|FOOT}} than to that in either {{smallcaps|FUN}} or {{smallcaps|ORPHAN}}, but it's reduced, as in the name {{smallcaps|CROFOOT}}.  Because {{IPA|/ə/}} and {{IPA|/ʌ/}} are closer to each other than either is to {{IPA|/ʊ/}}, I'd like to use {{IPA|/ʊ/}} here.  Do you agree?  How should the pronunciation be presented in the article?  [[User:Jdcrutch|<tt>''J.&nbsp;D.&nbsp;Crutchfield''</tt>]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jdcrutch|Talk]] 17:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:::I think I may have {{IPA|/ə/}} and {{IPA|/ʌ/}} reversed.  By {{IPA|/ə/}} I mean the second vowel in {{smallcaps|WAITED}}, and by {{IPA|/ʌ/}} I mean the vowel in {{smallcaps|MUD}}.  Is that right, or should it be the other way around—or something else yet?

==IPA in [[Paul Doumer]]==
You made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_Doumer&diff=348640447&oldid=340890536 this edit] to the article [[Paul Doumer]], and the incorrect pronunciation you added has remained in the article for four years. I presume you attempted to guess the pronunciation from the spelling, but if you had known more French, you'd have known that ''er'' can be pronounced [ɛʀ] as well as [e]. I think it would be helpful if you refrained from guessing at pronunciations, as you may be misleading people. For the correct pronunciation, please listen to either of these videos.

== Burmese Pronunciation of Katha ==

I see that in the page for [[Katha, Myanmar|Katha]] you added the pronunciation of {{MYname|MY=ကသာ|MLCTS=ka. sa}} as {{IPA|my|ka̰θà|IPA}}. Is there a source for this? Wouldn't it be {{IPA|my|kəðà|IPA|}} with the weakening of the open, creaky-voiced vowel and the voicing of the fricative in the word-internal voiced environment? --[[User:Iceager|Iceager]] ([[User talk:Iceager|talk]]) 11:15, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
:From your comment, I'm certain your knowledge of Burmese far surpasses mine, so please make all relevant corrections (within the [[Help:IPA for Burmese|transcription guidelines]], of course). Cheers! [[User:Xyzzyva|— ˈzɪzɨvə]] ([[User talk:Xyzzyva#top|talk]]) 18:41, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
::Actually, no. I was just trying to understand Burmese pronunciations based on the transcription examples, and the one you put for Katha seemed anomalous, which is why I'm asking. I'm not sure about the voicing of the 'th', and in fact the pronunciations of Katha I can find from online videos seem to be usually [kətà], with unaspirated [t] instead of the fricative (these may be speakers of minority languages who have trouble with the Burmese fricative). I was wondering if your transcription was based on a source that indicated whether or not there was vowel-weakening and the fricative voicing in the standard Burmese pronunciation (for example, certain romanizations where vowel-weakening is indicated with 'ă' and voiced sounds are underlined). --[[User:Iceager|Iceager]] ([[User talk:Iceager|talk]]) 16:04, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

== Ways to improve Ur-Baba ==

Hi, I'm Elliot321. Xyzzyva, thanks for creating [[Ur-Baba]]!

I've just tagged the page, using our [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help|page curation]] tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!  However, your page has no references.  Please add references to reliable sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on [[User talk:Elliot321|my talk page]]. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at [[WP:TEAHOUSE|the Teahouse]].

== Cuneiform for Inanna ==

Hello! I have noticed that you have recently edited several pages about figures from Sumerian mythology, adding cuneiform signs and correcting ones that are incorrect. I am trying to improve the article [[Inanna]] and bring it up to good article status. It recently underwent a peer review in which some of the cuneiform signs in the article were questioned. Could you please check them to make sure they are accurate and, if they are inaccurate, correct them. If they are accurate, I would greatly appreciate it if you would provide some brief explanation of them, as the article currently seems to indicate that the correct pronunciation of Inanna's name is actually </sup>MUŠ<sub>3</sub>, which sounds nothing at all like "Inanna." Thank you very much for reading this. I, unfortunately, cannot read ancient Sumerian cuneiform and I would greatly appreciate your help. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 18:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Xyzzyva. I've seen that you've edited [[Help:IPA/Italian]] in the past, so I thought you could help me to understand a thing. Note 5 says: "the n in /nɡ/~/nk/ is a velar [ŋ], and the one in /nf/~/nv/ is the labiodental [ɱ]". I was wondering why in the symbol list does appear ŋ but ɱ doesn't, but I've read in the same note: "but for simplicity, ⟨m⟩ is used here". Why such a distinguo is made here? In Italian a nasal always assimilates to the following consonant, so ŋ can be found just before k and g while ɱ can be found just before f and v. If it's for simplicity, then also ŋ should be transcribed as n (since, unlike in other languages, in Italian this sound can't be found elsewhere). But this makes the transcription less accurate. Then, why doesn't ɱ have its own place in the list? It's weird to me such a different treatment... Could you enlighten me about this issue, please?

== IPA again ==

Since you seem to be one of the few who understand IPA ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emilio_Segr%C3%A8&curid=376458&diff=1192147173&oldid=1187945258]), would you consider adding IPA to [[Howard Florey]] for me? You can hear Florey pronounce his name in the 1967 interview by Hazel de Berg in the External links section.
