Talk:Close-mid back unrounded vowel

message: Where does the claim that this vowel is used in Yorkshire English hope come from?  That vowel is usually transcribed as rounded, I think (though as different rounded vowels depending on the variety).--JHJ 16:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Xipirho included that example so you could ask him.  He doesn't seem like an expert on the subject so if he doesn't respond, I wouldn't be afraid to take the information out. Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 01:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm going to remove it, based on this paper, which reveals a complex situation involving various monophthongs and diphthongs in Bradford English, and does not mention a back unrounded vowel anywhere as far as I can tell.--JHJ 12:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: We probably should put a little diacritic on it indicating it's more front than the cardinal vowel.  Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 13:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the classification is accurate, but the sound sample in this article is bad (and that's what misleads Bulgarian users). In contrast, the Chinese sample  sounds pretty much like the Bulgarian vowel, as do the samples for ɤ in this and this online IPA charts.--Anonymous44 (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the sound sample for ɤ does not correspond well to to the stressed Bulgarian ъ. A sound sample that completely corresponds to the stressed ъ, as in път, ръб, пън, сън, etc., is that given in ɞ (I do not know how close is this sample to the true sounding ɞ). On the other hand, unstressed ъ sounds almost exactly as the sound sample in ə. Bulgarians often mistake unstressed ъ with а, in fact, this is one of the most frequent spelling errors. --Lantonov (talk) 07:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

text: The vowel is ɤ̞: somewhat more open, this is why there seems to be some confusion. It is a subtile difference. And anyway, Bulgarian is no longer listed in this article. --Kreuzkümmel (talk) 11:59, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Not in any dialects I know of.  You sure you aren't thinking of the Open-mid back unrounded vowel? — Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 19:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that there is a consensus on transcribing 'but' as [ˈbʌt] (the [t] here is more controversial). --Lantonov (talk) 07:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

text:  In my idiolect, this is precisely the pre-closed "ə" in "əʊ", aka my realization of "u" (sort of making "ɤɯ" in the end). My idiolect of Standard American is characterized by notable lack of rounding (caught-cot merger, "go" -> "gʌɯ").Squirrelous (talk) 17:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

text: The sound occurs in some dialects of AAVE.  The sound clip for the vowel in this article sounds precisely like the AAVE equivalent of 'ew' or 'ugh' to my ears, but the AAVE vowel may be a bit less tense and/or less back.  It occurs in the word 'good' too, although sometimes has an off-glide to something fronter and higher.  --Pyry (talk) 20:59, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is a tiny bit late to comment, but I also hear it in AAVE, often replacing an l, like /hɛl/-->/hɛɤ/. I'm going to be bold and add it, but feel free to revert it and discuss out here.Qwed117 (talk) 16:08, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

text: The sound [ɤ:] occurs in my own idiolect of English (northern England). It is the vowel in words such as "moor", "tour", "mourn". Most dialects of English do not have a separate phoneme in these words, so for instance "moor" and "more" are pronounced the same. 91.107.138.244 (talk) 01:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

message: According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatar_alphabet#Cyrillic_version this is the sound represented by ы . Is it possible to find an example?
