[edit] How to pronounce yl

Could someone who knows it add the pronounciation please? I suppose it should be possible without a knot in the tongue as I get it ^^ --峻義 Jùnyì 09:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


ylang-ylang pronounced ee-lahng ee-lahng for non-linguists. KaElin 04:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The IPA [ˈilɔŋ ilɔŋ]) seems to be at odds with the non-IPA 'ee-lahng ee-lahng'. Is 'ah' an open 'a' (as in father) or does it really represent the sound in 'caught', as suggested by the IPA? Phytomagus 17:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


I am no linguist but I am a native Tagalog speaker. The 'ah' is an open 'a' as in 'father' not the 'a' in 'caught'.KaElin 01:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

So it's ee-long ee-long? I think I like yah-layng yah-layng better. 63.172.193.57 (talk) 16:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

This article states that the Canonga Tree grows at 5m per year and reaches an average height of 12m - this is clearly an error - even at 120m height its age would be only 14 years - it needs correcting. Either the rate of growthy of the average heigght is wrong.
