Proposal to make significant improvements to the pageedit
Latest comment: 1 month ago6 comments3 people in discussion
All Most of the changes are based on information I found on wikipedia itself. I can look up the sources again if necessary. Emdosis (talk) 16:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
If they don't contrast with the existing vowels listed, there's no point in adding them to the key, which adopts broad phonetic transcription (as do all non-English keys, see MOS:PRON). Nardog (talk) 03:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
All the proposed additions I've added are either accepted transliterations (even the 'ḏ' I added, as can be seen here) or common transliteration choices like ph in the word 'Sepharadi'. Emdosis (talk) 06:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article you linked talks about not adding ambiguous phonemes for foreign languages unless they're linked to "a description of the phonology of the language in question". The only phoneme I added so far was /ɔ/, which has a dedicated page. As do all my other proposed phonemes. Emdosis (talk) 06:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
My proposals are as follows:
1.1 Removing phonemic symbols from the romanization column in the vowels table
1.2 Removing unsubstantiated romanization letter 'ǩ' from the page (and replacing it with the correct character 'ḵ')
2.1 Adding missing romanization characters for consonants:
ב: ḇ ד: ḏ ו: w & ṿ ט: ṱ כ: ḵ ע: ġ פ: ph צ: z ק: ḳ שׂ: ś ת: ṯ
2.2. Adding missing romanization characters for vowels:
Zeire: ei/ej, ē Shva: ' Kamatz (both): â (instead of the 'ɔ')
3.1. Adding missing phonemics for consonants
ט: [θʼ] ע: /ʁ/ פ: /ɸ/ שׂ: /ɬ/
3.2 Adding missing phonemics for vowels
Zeirei: /ei/, /ɛ/ Segol: /ɛ/ Shva: /ɛ/ Cholam: BH: /o̞/ MH: /ɔ/ Kamatz: BH: /ɑ/
1.3 Removing incorrect phonemic for Kamatz Katan: o (replacing it with /ɔ/)
3.3 adding regular 'bay' for Tseirei as it is also pronounced as a /beɪ/
