@Justinrleung The pinyin system here has one more flaw. Because not many people know that "ê" is also used in Pinyin to denote a lone-standing ㄝ sound in Zhuyin. And 誒 is the only Chinese character in Mandarin with this sound "ề", reference: all Taiwanese Mandarin dictionaries and one Mainland dictionary 汉字英释大辞典. Please help me fix. I don't know how. Thanks! --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 17:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

@suzukaze-c I understand why you reverted my edit. But I just want to bring this to people's attention. The pronunciation "è" is wrong. I'm positive that no dictionary actually shows this pronunciation. The correct one is "ề", but as you said, it's not yet supported. I don't know how to edit the modules, so I want to bring this to people's attention. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The E language section

[edit]

@Aryamanarora Are you sure the E language is written and this is the form of the word? Wyang (talk) 08:35, 13 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Wyang: I'm not sure why I added that? I don't know much about E. I really don't think it is written in Han script, at least not in the resources I can find (they all use IPA transcription). The section should probably be removed. (btw pings to me are still working) —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 10:27, 13 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Looks like the ping is revived! Ok, I will remove the section. Wyang (talk) 10:31, 13 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Old Chinese (Zhengzhang): /*qʰlɯ/

[edit]

How come only the fifth pronunciation, “an interjection expressing agreement or promise”, shows its Old Chinese etymology? --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:06, 11 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


E. This is a Chinese word. There seems to be no established orthography for E, so we should be using IPA as the lemmas, not the cognate Chinese characters. – wpi (talk) 05:11, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
