Talk:令和

I heard this pronounced [reiwa] in song. Was that artistic license or does the pronunciation need to be adjusted? Korn [kʰũːɘ̃n] (talk) 22:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

In singing, Japanese's mora-timed nature comes out more clearly and sometimes forces unusual realisations, including spelling pronunciations. If you pay attention to /N/ and /Q/ in particular (using the usual Japanese linguiatic notation, not X-SAMPA), you'll hear how differently they get treated compared with natural Japanese utterances. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
