Monnow Bridge query
An editor has, rightly, suggested, it would be good to have the Welsh pronunciation for Pont Trefynwy in the lead for the above. I'm not sure how to do this. If you do, and can, I'd be hugely grateful. Thanks in advance. KJP1 (talk) 07:37, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @KJP1: I could only guess. Sorry. Mr KEBAB (talk) 07:58, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back and no worries. I'm sure a Welsh-speaking editor from the Wales Project will roll by soon. KJP1 (talk) 11:02, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Blaa and IPA
Is there some IPA symbol or syntax for describing the double "aa" when it is pronounced as a kind of flattened "aah" in the local dialects. It sounds like Hiberno-English influenced by Irish rather than simple English. In Irish, the long a or á would be the closest approximation. Jmccormac (talk) 17:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Jmccormac: The IPAc-en template uses an abstract diaphonemic transcription. In that specific dialect, [æː] or [aː] is probably the correct transcription, but that is just a regional pronunciation of the diaphoneme /ɑː/. See Help:IPA for English. Mr KEBAB (talk) 17:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Slovak phonology table
Why did you change the table to the previous wrong one?there are no continuats but fricatives and the approximants and lateral are all wrongly placed along with the j being under fricative palatal when in a approximant palatal.Even if the table is somewhat correct, it is confusing when you compare the consonant table in czech phonology,which slovak shares alot of the same sounds with.if it says fricatives there and in other slavic phonologies then have slovak be different is ilogical 82.36.44.176 (talk) 02:15 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- You don't understand what a continuant is. Read continuant consonant. Mr KEBAB (talk) 02:28, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- My lack of understanding does not change the fact that the table is a shit. 82.36.44.176 (talk) 02:32 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- The reason you think so is exactly because you don't understand what you're talking about. Goodbye. Mr KEBAB (talk) 02:33, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

- Why does the Hanulíková, Adriana; Hamann, Silke (2010) 31 source shows what I did was correct.Please tell me why you believe that the consonants are to be categorized as you want and ignore an actual source. 82.36.44.176 (talk) 02:50 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- They clearly state that Slovak contrasts central and lateral palatal approximants, but doesn't have a contrastive palatal fricative. The fact that we show fricatives and central approximants in one row just saves space and it's still in alignment with the source. If you read continuant before making any edits you'd know that. Great job on being lazy and lashing out on me. Are we done here? Mr KEBAB (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- Yes,sorry. 82.36.44.176 (talk) 03:06 15 June 2017 (UTC)

I think you accidentally put "As for the /i-ɪ, u-ʊ/ contrasts..." in the wrong place at Help talk:IPA for English § Should we stop.... It's obviously not a huge deal, but I figured I would point it out. Nardog (talk) 06:01, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Nardog: Moved, thanks. Mr KEBAB (talk) 13:02, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
