Talk:Chukchi phonology

To the guy who edited it

First of all you count bad as with ur things there are 15 consonants not 13

Then, s and ch are allophones in men's dialect and the woman's dialect's sound is ts. these two dont occur in the same dialect which means, they should be in one place. Then, your and my source also agree on the nature of the glottal stop. It seems like you barely even read what I've written. Furthermore, Dunn finds no trace of r being retroflex, stating it clearly is a flap. Finally the velar fricative has been described as a fricative, but Dunn says its actually an approximant, and so is /w/. If you give me references for Spencer's work I'll be more than happy to change the page back to your design. Actuadogge (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

I will be keeping your way for now. If I dont get a reply from you until 10pm CET tomorrow I will change it back. Please don't be immature, we should coordinate our work instead of fighting.

Thank you Actuadogge (talk) 20:12, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

The correct sound for the women's dialect is actually [t͡ʃ] (also written in Dunn's source too). And as far as the rhotic sound, it is a retroflex glide [ɻ] according to Spencer (1999), as well as the bilabial [β] and velar [ɣ] sounds being fricatives in the same source. The design of the chart is perfect for now, but here is Spencer's source for the language. Fdom5997 (talk) 00:09, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

actually no;

Dunn says the women's dialect as "apico-alveolar affricate" meaning ts.

The source you cited can be as good as mine; I just have to create a html page for that. I will try for a compromise please tell me how you find it. Note that specner's /c/ is most likely Dunn's /s/ as it is in free variation a sound in men's dialect. The publication seems to ignore the women's dialect completely Actuadogge (talk) 08:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Also i have decided to use the analysis from 1999 rather than 1961 which Specner's work may be based on. I will however give him credit in some parts Actuadogge (talk) 08:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Just so you're curious, Dunn describes gamma as an approximant but uses the fricative symbol because of how this sound has been transcribed before. For this exact reason he uses <c> to transcribe the sound /ts/ Actuadogge (talk) 09:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Also you can change the label from approximant to something else so it fits both descriptions better, I just cannot come up with the term at the moment. Actuadogge (talk) 09:02, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Bro

I legit told you what’s wrong and made it so our sources somehow don’t conflict. Can you at least answer and not stick stubbornly Actuadogge (talk) 06:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The source that you used is only based on one source and also, in that source, it also says that the affricate is actually a post-alveolar [tʃ]. Other sources state that this symbol is correct like Krause (1980), and Skorik (1961). Why not based the info off other sources that explain the phonology as well?
