Unnecessary link
[edit]The French link is unnecessary as it actually only goes a few lines dow, and vice versa. 131.191.64.130 01:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the parentheses around ə
[edit]Is it necessary to have parentheses around the schwa, as in /ˈkæ.ɹə.m(ə)l/? That is, is there a slight difference in pronunciation between the two? I'm new to IPA, so I'm just curious. Thanks in advance! BirdHopper (talk) 16:15, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
- No, in a broad transcript like this, that schwa doesn't need parentheses. - -sche (discuss) 16:33, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks! And thanks for the edits to the transcriptions. BirdHopper (talk) 18:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
