  • 12:4012:40, 1 October 2024 diff hist +211 Help:IPA/MongolianThis guide is aimed at "layman" readers, who are extremely unlikely to be aware of pre-fortis clipping or even notice it when sounding out the words, so it does not help to illustrate the difference between short and long vowels to them. Better to just explicitly tell them that vowels are short/long. Many English speakers, including the vast majority of British English speakers, will perceive [ä], as closer to their TRAP than their PALM. current

  • 12:1212:12, 1 October 2024 diff hist +851 Help:IPA/PersianGiven the divergent realizations of most vowels between Farsi, Dari and Tajik, we surely need to give an English approximation for each
  • 10:5410:54, 1 October 2024 diff hist −74 Help:IPA/PersianMany/most accents of English have a GOOSE vowel considerably more front than [u], except when followed by /l/. Making /o/ example more applicable across all accents of English (many US accents have fronted GOAT anyway). Previous /ow/ example did not work for large numbers of English speakers, but a pre-/l/ example does.
