Danish edit

Next time, tell me instead of CodeCat about my perceived errors. You're wrong about [ɡ̊] representing a lenis voiceless velar stop in the official IPA. It's just an illogical convention that is used when transcribing Danish. What [ɡ̊] actually represents in the official IPA is a velar stop with varying degrees of being devoiced. The only way to represent the lenis voiceless velar stop in the official IPA is to write [k͉], i.e. the letter for the voiceless velar stop with the "weak articulation" diacritic underneath it.

Oh, and you go tell Den Danske Ordbog that their phonetic IPA is wrong. There are levels of phonetic precision. Peter238 (talk) 13:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was disturbed by CodeCat's revert made in error, that's why I was discussing with CodeCat. Wtf's with DDO? Wiktionary has its own conventions. Perhaps if you want to change ~3400 Danish entries, go ahead. Otherwise, be consistent, follow the Wiktionary convention and stop bothering me. Btw, this is the 'superb/finest quality' DDO representing ting in IPA as [ˈtenˀ] -- [1] -- epic fail lol --87.63.114.210 14:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I am not bothering you, that was the first time I've written to you. I don't want to change any conventions, and I don't remember why I wrote [g] instead of [ɡ̊]. You were the one making fuss about it in an aggressive and rude manner instead of just changing the IPA. Tone down your language and everything will be fine in the future.

Rude is rather CodeCat making a fuss, reverting my legit edit without explanation. And you talking in imperatives to me. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. The tone on Wiktionary stinks generally, so why should I be a garbage can for various community outbursts - it's like you all are suffering from moderate to major depression. I also don't get the idea of representing bagt as [b̥ɑɡ̊d̥], as [ɡ̊] is partially devoiced (voicing only first half near the vowel), and as such [d̥] should really be a [t]. But you're all so clever and supercilious in this Wiktionary [2], that I puke jets as wide as my thigh, so I'll refrain from editing here in the future as to avoid further clashes and thus to keep my mind sound and health stable. Watch your blood pressure, folks! And bye. Just do as you want with the Danish entries, I don't care anymore. --87.63.114.210 14:46, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
And the dick part, haha you made me smile :) Take a chill pill folks.. I'm just a mirror of the standards of debate on the Wiktioanry. --87.63.114.210 14:57, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
What you're saying is at odds with Grønnum (1998) and Basbøll (2005). According to both of them, all Danish plosives are voiceless lenis, and are distinguished only by aspiration (mainly in stressed syllables). The transcription [pʰ / b̥ʰ, b̥, tˢ / d̥ˢ, d̥, kʰ / ɡ̊ʰ, ɡ̊] is nothing more than a convention. In official IPA, these would simply be [pʰ, p, t͡s, t, kʰ, k], or with "weak" diacritic underneath when we want to be extremely precise (normally not needed): [p͉ʰ, p͉, t͉͡s͉, t͉, k͉ʰ, k͉]. By the way, stop lumping me and CodeCat together. We're not even friends, I've just talked to him a few times.
I've already apologized for that insult and removed it from your profile. Peter238 (talk) 15:03, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I give up in getting my point through. Shall we just end the conversation? --87.63.114.210 15:10, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes please. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proto-Afroasiatic edit

Hey, I am sorry, this was certainly not meant to be an offense. Can you remember what was the first BS or nonsensical thing you've encountered? — Ivadon (talk) 16:35, 14 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/wanjaną edit

Hi. "Accustom" means "make used to", not "be used to". I don't know which one is correct for this word, but can you fix it please? Equinox 21:45, 17 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Corrected. Thank you for noticing. --87.63.114.210 21:49, 17 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Babel edit

Would you add {{Babel}} to your user page? I'd appreciate it. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:56, 17 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to stay anonymous. Language skills are native Danish, some knowledge into North Germanic languages, English is ok, and a bit of French. --87.63.114.210 22:29, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. This helps us assess reliability of contributions in various languages, even from anonymous contributors. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:24, 19 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

trække, række, forskrække osv. - udtale? edit

Jeg håber ikke, jeg generer dig med et spørgsmål vedr. udtale og IPA. I ovenstående eksempler (som jeg udtaler som rimende på strejke) er næstsidste stavelse for mig en diftong, i nærheden af [-ɑɪ̯ɡ̊ə], men de eksisterende transskriptioner siger noget andet. DDO bruger [-agə], men optagelserne synes at have en (omend lidt utydelig) diftongkvalitet. Hvis dette er en del af deres forenklede system, så kan jeg ikke finde det på infosiden om udtale. Er dette udtryk for dialektale forskelle, eller er det bare mig der tager fejl af IPA? Eller noget trejde?__Gamren (talk) 13:33, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
