Talk:Open-mid central unrounded vowel

message: According to Vietnamese_phonology#Monophthongs this vowel is found in Vietnamese too - could someone add an example to the table? Lfh (talk) 10:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Some dialects of American English, like my own, have  between front and central —  or  — or even completely central . It seems that this is a feature of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift. I'll add this to the table, but regrettably I don't have a source to cite for it, so could someone else add one? — Eru·tuon 20:20, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is sourced as being near-open central, but I suppose that's for speakers with the extreme variety of NCVS. Personally, I have nothing against your edit. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 16:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I need some phonetic help. Dictionary.com transcribes "purse" and bird" in IPA with /ɜr/, but this Wikipedia article implies that /ɜ/ is not used by Americans. Can someone tell me how to transcribe the vowel as pronounced in General American? DBlomgren (talk) 05:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: First, see phoneme and allophone. A narrow transcription of the American pronunciation would be  (a rhotacized mid central unrounded vowel),  (a rhotacized close-mid central unrounded vowel),  (syllabic postalveolar approximant) or  (syllabic retroflex approximant), depending on the speaker. I'd say  is probably the most common realization, but I'm not sure. Mr KEBAB (talk) 06:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  If ɜ is used only in the lower-crust RP pronunciation of "bird," what do most Americans use instead? 

message: I came to this article from the Wiki article "Tausug language" which lists this sound in its phonology under "Vowels". But when I came to this article, there is no mention of the Tausug language at all, not even in the examples of languages that use the sound. For the sake of consistency between the two articles, can Tausug be added to the list?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.138.214 (talk) 07:16, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Relevant discussion at [[Talk:Mid central vowel#Challenging the recent edits by Kbb2, especially concerning German]] 

message: In recent edits, Kbb2 has removed a JIPA article, claiming that its vowel charts are unreliable. These are peer-reviewed articles in a prestigious journal that is relevant to the topic of this article – the best possible kind of reliable source. Any removal of such a source requires hard evidence. We cannot have editors removing reliable sources just because they claim that these sources are unreliable.
@Kbb2: What are your reasons for dismissing this JIPA article? I hope it is more than analogies you perceive with other vowel charts. --mach 🙈🙉🙊 15:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
