other pronunciations

I have definitely heard people say /æsθɛtɪk/ before & even occasionally heard /eɪsθɛtɪk/, do I need to provide sources to list those as pronunciations? Anothracountiges (talk) 15:48, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

@Anothracountiges: Sorry for the late reply. Original research (i.e.: referenceless claims) is not prohibited on Wiktionary. It's best to avoid it to not make some people angry, but also like... *wink wink* nobody is going to notice this. Just add it, if you think it's a valuable addition.

I've also heard [əstɛtɪk] quite a lot, it's how I pronounce it and it makes a lot of sense from the etymology, since in french, german, and many dialects of ancient greek, it was pronounced with a t sound and not a θ sound 146.90.46.154 23:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
