Talk:Syllabic consonant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IPA is wrong. [bɐt̚n̩] for "button" and [bɒɾl̩] for "bottle"? The [ɐ] for short "u" and [ɾ] as the intervocalic allophone of /t/ or /d/ are both American, while [ɒ] for short "o" and [t̚] for syllable-final /t/ are British. I don't know what dialect has both. I would simply correct it rather than ranting about it, but I don't know whether American, British or both are preferred in Wikipedia house style...... 84.70.181.20 11:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Contributing_FAQ says "The official policy is to use British (AKA "Commonwealth") spelling when writing about British (or Commonwealth) topics, and American for topics relating to the United States. General topics can use any one of the variants, but should generally strive to be consistent within an article. See Wikipedia's Manual of Style for a more detailed explanation.". So pick one and go nuts. Pthag 12:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- GA t is also unreleased in this position, and in any case [ɐ] is allegedly RP too, so that word's not a problem. kwami 12:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- Well, the standard is to use [V]. Most British dialects at least tend to use [?] as well. --finlay 144.32.128.112 12:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- I went ahead and changed the IPA for the English examples. I used the Oxford English Dictionary transcription. The vowel in button is transcribed as /ʌ/ even though it is phonetically closer to /ɐ/ in RP. This is just a matter of tradition I suppose. The GAm transcriptions would be [bʌʔn] or [bʌt̚n] and [bɑɾl] if anyone thinks they should be added as well. Makerowner 22:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Czech?
I guess that "ř" should rather be "r" in the article. Both "r" and "l" can be syllabic in Czech (I'm not sure about "ř"). - 82.139.47.117 11:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
