Talk:Esquimalt

message: The article mentions Esquimalt being incorporated as a city in 1912; yet the municipality is officially a township, which I don't believe is equivalent to a city. In fact, where I come from (Ontario), townships are generally a kind of rural municipality. So, what is Esquimalt's actual status?66.183.165.57 01:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  City, or Township 

message: This section reads a lot like a Chamber of Commerce pamphlet.  Some information on the economy, demographics (not just a StatsCan list but basic info on trends) and the impact of/relationship with CFB Esquimalt (or even a wikilink) would be handy.  Happy to contribute, but I'm not in BC so someone with a better knowledge of the area would probably be better suited.  Blotto adrift 14:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Esquimalt today

message: I have a question/comment regarding the pronunciation.  The vowel between the m and the lt is not listed (all by itself, as it is found here) in the 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English 
document.  Either the pronunciation here should be changed or the IPA page should change.  I assume the former.  Unfortunately, I don't actually know how Esquimalt is correctly pronounced.  (Which is why I came to the page in the first place.  ;-))  Should this pronunciation not be corrected?  Thank you.--DCH (talk) 17:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know IPA but it should rhyme with "malt" (as in beer) and "fault".Skookum1 (talk) 22:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm pretty sure it should be changed. /mɔːlt/ sounds to me like perhaps how a British person would say it. It's a pretty uncommon way of pronouncing it here, so I don't know why they chose it. I'd transcribe it /ɨˈskwaɪmɑlt/ myself. I'm a native BC speaker and I have very few words I say with [ɔ] (excluding diphthongs) and I don't think I use [ɔː] at all when speaking English. (you can hear a /ɔ/ sound sample on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-mid_back_rounded_vowel and a /ɑ/ sound sample on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_unrounded_vowel ) Actually, I'm going to go ahead and change it, since I was suspecting it should be changed, and there seems to be agreement here already.24.84.164.137 (talk) 02:13, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: See discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Canadian_Wikipedians'_notice_board#CanEng_IPA.2Flinguist.28s.29_needed. We should go with the British vowel, because that will be correct for everyone. We're not talking about  vs  here, but about  vs , which is not the same thing at all. (BCers will automatically pronounce the latter two the same: /ɔː/ is defined as the vowel in malt, fault, etc, regardless of whether you use that same vowel for father or not.) — kwami (talk) 02:39, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
