Talk:Voiced uvular plosive

message: Can a native or proficient speaker of Inuktitut correct my syllabary entry, because I am not a native speaker of Inuktitut(infact, I know very few words!), thus prone to errors.
Thanks! :)

message: I added the transcription and meaning of غذا, but I've always pronounced it with /q/ (though of course I do have a foreign accent).  WikiMarshall 18:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Persian alphabet page that غذا is linked to here says that the first letter of that word (غ) is pronounced [ɣ], not [ɢ] (nor [q]). This agrees with my study of Persian -- I'm not a native speaker but I've been listening to recordings of native speakers, e.g غذا pronunciation. I'm not positive about the point of articulation that غذا starts with, but it's a fricative, not a stop. Instead of غذا as an example, I would suggest دقیقه (pronunciation here). The Persian alphabet page lists ق as being pronounced [ɢ], which agrees with what the preceding forvo.com link sounds like, and what I have been taught.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huttarl (talk • contribs) 16:52, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Ah... No, in French, it's rather ɢ͡ʁ than ɢʁ... And it's not spoken by "some speakers" but by everyone, there's an uvularisation of the G to make it faster to simplify, huh! But it's directly pronounced and not phoneme by phoneme, you got it? x)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.195.59.182 (talk) 16:17, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: is not a phoneme in French, so it couldn't be pronounced 'phoneme by phoneme' anyway. Peter238 (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

text: (Thread necro, but anyway): It's  (a phonetic affricate, yes, but a velar one) or perhaps  but definitely not . AFAIK it's not  either as  is the only uvular consonant that is [+ATR] (unless I'm mistaken about that, I can't find a source for that ATM), whereas the corresponding plosives are [-ATR] (contrary to  which are [+ATR]), making a strong retraction to  simply unnecessary.

message: The example word under the !Xóõ section looks suspiciously like a racial slur in English when written in IPA. I believe that this may be a troll. After reading through the Traill dictionary and Wiktionary, I cannot seem to find this word. If someone could try to help find a source that would be great. However, the user that made this change seems to have made other edits on Wikipedia in good faith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CamelCaseCo (talk • contribs) 18:29, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It may look like that but it sounds nothing like it (when I read it aloud it sounds like a really slurred phrase "and it's gonna", with a weirdly overstressed "gonna"). Replace the word if you want, that's no problem if you ask me. Sol505000 (talk) 16:00, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

text: The only source I was able to find was a user-inserted entry on the website Glosbe, so I've erred on the side of caution rather than add what might well be a circular reference (e.g. the word was added to Glosbe because it was listed on Wikipedia) and removed the entry. User:CamelCaseCo evidently has access to the work of Anthony Traill, so they're far better equipped than me to add a replacement entry which contains a voiced uvular stop and has a source which can be robustly cited. 5.68.48.12 (talk) 23:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
