replies: text: (Reply to above) I think pitch is relative, since it's based on solfege (i.e. key doesn't matter). Kind of like, instead of "a b c# d" you might just have "do re mi fa" instead. Don't think it's actually "spoken" much anymore, though... Weien 08:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Solfege doesn't necessarily mean that key doesn't matter.  There are two schools of solfege: movable and fixed do.  In the former, key doesn't matter, but in the latter, do is always a C. PatrickNiedzielski (talk) 02:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Hi, I am one of the really rare persons to have the book from 1866. I did read that different small editions did maked. But really small. The reason can be, that Sudre did try all the time a/ to perfect his language and b/ to find a real good buyer (the Army!). And he did dead before he did have success! His wife did publish the language after he died. It is possible that she did have problems to find money to edit the complete work (it is an very expensiv matter because of the printing of musical notes!) and that can be the reason of the divers little editions. - oui 18:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Gajewski's book says that Sudre died in 1862. How could he possibly publish anything in 1866? Alex Kapranoff 15:11, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: This needs to be clarified, I cannot reach that source right now, but maybe I could take your word for it... :) Furthermore, the article about François Sudre says he invented the sudrophone, and in that article it says it was patented in 1892, and that he lived 1844-1912. Probably a mix-up, but needs to be fixed with sources. --90.129.3.82 (talk) 14:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there a way to say, write, whatever "zero" in solresol?
I can't find "zero" specifically, but perhaps one is meant to use "Lado", which means "Nothing".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by GammaAlphaRho (talk • contribs) 23:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just thought I'd note that lado is only "nothing" according to Gajewski's version of Solresol. In Sudre's original documentation, lado is "yesterday". Soldo is the word for "nothing" according to Sudre. On page 288 / 308 of the PDF scan of Sudre's original publication of Solresol, you will see the word "Zéro"; the French word for zero, corresponding to "soldo" with no accentuation.

:Actually, according to page 22 and 23 / 308 of the PDF that is the scanned version of the original publication by Sudre, you will see every word length pertains to a specific category or classification. Greatscotteh (talk) 10:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Resource for expanding the article 

message: This article perpetuates a "correction" that changes original "si" to "ti." (This is why "yes" was originally "si.") Sudre's and Gajewski's texts have "si" throughout. Ansric (talk) 21:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: See? Sol-Si would be a 3rd Major, as Do-Mi and as Fa-La, so at the start of a conversation it would be quite confusing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddygp (talk • contribs) 11:44, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bug: Sol-Si sounds as Do-Mi sounds as Fa-La 

message: Looking at this, I think the subject should be resumed. It would be nice to hear an example of someone speaking/singing Solresol. And the article is missing exactly how Solresol would have been employed most commonly, and how employed by differently disabled people.Djathinkimacowboy  vandals' playground 05:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

message: There is a sentence early on:"The teaching of sign languages to the deaf was discouraged between 1880 and 1991 in France, contributing to Solresol's descent into obscurity. " What does this mean, in context? What doees sign language for the deaf have to do with a music-based constructed language?

replies: text: It really comes out of nowhere. It should be rephrased or removed, because as is it just makes me want to quit reading the article and go do something else.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 12:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe they were referring to the fact that signed languages (ASL, LSF, etc.) were not taught to those who were deaf, but instead the language spoken by the hearing in that particular country (English, French, etc.). Here is the relevant block of text from the Wikipedia page "French Sign Language":
"From this time French Sign Language flourished until the late 19th century when a schism developed between the manualist and oralist schools of thought. In 1880 the Milan International Congress of Teachers for the Deaf-Mute convened and decided that the oralist tradition would be preferred. In due time the use of sign language was treated as a barrier to learning to talk and thus forbidden from the classroom.
This situation remained unchanged in France until the late 1970s, when the deaf community began to militate for greater recognition of sign language and for a bilingual education system. In 1991 the National Assembly passed the Fabius law, officially authorising the use of LSF for the education of deaf children. A law was passed in 2005 fully recognising LSF as a language in its own right."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Sign_Language#History (the two last paragraphs of the History section) Greatscotteh (talk) 10:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Question about an assertion early in the article

message: In the article the following is stated: "Another way of using Solresol is called ses, and was developed by George Boeree." But no reference is provided. Did George Boeree really created that further development on Solresol? --87.222.104.154 (talk) 10:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Ses system needs reference

message: The sidosi.org link, which presumably used to be a Solresol speaker community organization, is no longer that -- it seems to be an online casino in some Austronesian language?  Can someone who knows something about the Solresol community replace that footnote with some other links to a Solresol community or better yet, a secondary source talking about the present-day Solresol community? --Jim Henry (talk) 17:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
