August 5

[edit]

IPA transcription requested

[edit]

Unicoi County, Tennessee has no indication of its pronunciation. Could someone add an IPA transcription? File:TNUnicoiWelcome.ogg is a recording of a local official (the county mayor) pronouncing the name, so you should be able to convert his speech into IPA.

 Done. Deor (talk) 22:52, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's no guarantee the mayor is able to pronounce the name correctly. After all, the former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, thought his state was "codifornya". :-) SinisterLefty (talk) 22:59, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then there's the question of how to pronounce "Missouri". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots01:21, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
