Wiktionary talk:International Phonetic Alphabet

I am not quite sure about the bilabial and labiodental approximants. The 'w' in Dutch is a labiodental approximant (I think) unless you speak the Surinam version of it then it is a bilabial one as in English. Certainly for Dutch ears the difference is quite unmistakeable. It would seem that this table only has a symbol for one of them? nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf

Sample sounds
Not being a linguistics professional, I find the tables in this article not especially illuminating. How much trouble would it be to add sound clips to the symbols, so mere mortals could comprehend them? After all, pronunciation is primarily an aural concept. ~ Jeff Q 20:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * User:Dvortygirl often adds audio samples to entries. I asked her to add some to Pronunciation key some time ago. See said she would do it (but said it might take awhile). I suggest you post a request on her talk page to remind her. Ncik 21:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think she didn't do them mainly because someone else already had. I'm not sure where that chart is now.  --Connel MacKenzie 00:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

proper coding for phonetic alphabet
The phonetic alphabet consists mostly of question marks in my browser. Could someone put it in proper html code? Like "ü" should be "& u uml ;" (without the spaces) etc. Then every browser should show the right signs. Anjil 10:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC) 222

 * Where? If you use the template, then it will display IPA characters correctly.  If you need to insert a character in editing and the symbols do not appear correctly at the bottom of the page in the browser you're using, there is a workqround that I sometimes use.  Just follow the link in the IPA template to the appropriate Wikipedia page, where all the symbols should be displayed correctly. --EncycloPetey 22:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

IPA to audio?
Is there an online engine to produce a sound file from an IPA pronunciation string? That would be very handy. 60.242.130.234 23:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No. Part of the problem is that there are many extra little symbols that may be inserted into a string of "standard" characters to indicate secondary stress, aspiration, tone, etc.  An engine will also be unable to produce regional accent, so it would be a very crude approximation.  Consider that the same IPA symbols might be used to code the word public, but it will sound different spoken by an Englishman, Irishman, Australian, etc.  The biggest problem though, is dealing with the optional little symbols.  --EncycloPetey 06:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You can try IPA Reader to heard the sound. It would be interesting also a IPA to English machine (you can put the IPA and the machine would offer you the English word corresponding to this pronunciation).--BoldLuis (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Collins English Dictionary's website seems to machine-generate pronunciations for many words, e.g. the audio in the section section (the second and third audio files on the page) for foggy. It sounds very unnatural and awkward. Some of the pronunciations of foggy at ipa-reader.xyz do sound more natural; others have the same awkward mechanically-spliced-together quality to them. - -sche (discuss) 21:37, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

the vowel chart
The primary purpose here is pronunciation, not inscription. That vowel chart, although certainly informative, should also feature something like the which can be seen with Wikipedia's "Template:IPA_chart/table_vowels". Keep the table which links to the glyphs which were chosen for each vowel, but the one that aids pronunciation is more useful here — for readers which come from an IPA transcription for the represented pronunciation of a word. JamesEG (talk) 14:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Tones
I see that tones for Chinese words in the articles are marked differently (with digits). Шурбур (talk)

Adding a 3d interactive plot of IPA vowels
Using the formants F1, f2 and f3, it would be great to add a 3d interactive plot object of the IPA vowels. I have read R software could make it, but I am afraid I have never used it. --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:55, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Wiktionary is first and foremost a dictionary. —suzukaze (t・c) 05:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Guidance on bracketing
Despite reading a bit about it such as at w:en:help:IPA, I still don't understand when // and when [] are used. Could someone clarify this as it applies to Wiktionarians in the body of this article? Arlo Barnes (talk) 02:33, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think we could explain it better than that link did. If you don't understand how phonemic and phoentic distinctions differ, you probably shouldn't add IPA to entries. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:49, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Voiceless Nasals
Can we add the Voiceless Nasals to this table? They occur in Welsh pronunciation when nasally mutating P, T, and C (and apparently exist in other languages like French, Icelandic, and Ukrainian too). To clarify, they are the following symbols: m̥, n̥, ŋ̊. – Guitarmankev1 (talk) 18:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Is this encoding really necessary?
Is there any benefit to requiring users to replace regular Latin g with a specific font (ɡ) just because that's what the IPA encodes? Is there any chance for confusion? Does the actual IPA standard actually require this font? Korn [kʰũæ̃n] (talk) 11:07, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Correction: "post-alveolar ejective affricate" -> "palato-alveolar ejective affricate"
For the IPA term for "⟨t͡ʃʼ⟩" in the chart on this page, the text is given as "post-alveolar ejective affricate". This term does not seem to exist. According to Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palato-alveolar_ejective_affricate, the proper term for that sound is "palato-alveolar ejective affricate".

Requesting a correction to the terminology.

Vajíčko (talk) 19:02, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposition: add uni-code(s?) in diacritic & characters tables
I believe it would be quite useful to others than me to have alt & uni codes directly in the tables of this article as a cheatsheet to write those when need be.

Mathieu Lenaers (talk) 16:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC) Mat

Open Vowels Not appearing
In the vowel section, the open vowels (last row of the chart) don't show up. I'm on Safari on iPhone. I don't understand the source code, but it looks like theres supposed to be a section there. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:International_Phonetic_Alphabet#Vowels 47.72.172.227 01:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Beyond IPA: IPA does not reach the whole world
US President Joe Biden is not an outlier. Anywhere that IPA appears, Appendix:English pronunciation not only should/ought appear, it MUST appear if Wiktionary is ever to reach its full potential. This is regardless of any opinions about how scientific IPA is versus other systems-. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 00:15, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

MPTP

Noun

 * 1)  1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine: a byproduct of synthetic heroin, or MPPP, which causes parkinsonian symptoms in users; and a neurotoxin that degrades into MPP+ after crossing the blood-brain barrier, which causes a degradation of the dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra.

Quotations

 * 2005 Dec 29 Petzinger, et al. Journal of Neuroscience Research
 * The neurotoxicant 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine MPTP provides an excellent opportunity to study repair and response to injury in the basal ganglia.

Jen: No, physically you're just not the sort of man I go for. Douglas: Yeah, thanks, Jen. Jen: I go for the classically good-looking men: Blond, broad, and generally clean shaven.

I say in the USA because the author or authors of the current definition may be using the usage of a different region. If this is the case, then this should be noted in the defintion. Otherwise, the defintions should be changed to reflect the correct usage. --Epl 02:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:touristic

Non-native speakers' English
In my experience this term is used mostly by non-native speakers of English. I didn't even think it was really a word. I've never heard europeans use the word which in my experience is common: touristy. I looked at some dictionaries and found that some have an entry for touristy but not touristic. Some also note that touristy generally has negative connotations. All worth looking into. — Hippietrail 04:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Touristy sounds informal to me, while touristic sounds formal — like the difference between officey and officelike. Equinox ◑ 04:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * They do sound that way, but touristic is not a word native English speakers use...ever. It sounds like it should be a word but it isn't one to us. Oaklandj (talk) 15:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

My view on touristy vs. touristic
In response to this: I am a native English speaker from Europe. I was born in England and I have also lived in Scotland, Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland.It is interesting for me because I have had the opposite reflex when I came across the word "touristy". I thought that "touristy" was a made up word. When I hear the word "touristic" I think of the positive aspects of the described destination i.e. Worth visiting by tourists. Whereas when something is described to me as being touristy I think of too many tourists spoiling that place. I am interested to hear comments from others

 * As an American, I initial reaction was that touristic was made up and rare, while the very common touristy was slang or non-standard. A quick google search indicates the opposite, however.  And m-w.com and dictionary.com have entries for both.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Stress
I'm a non-native speaker from mainland Europe and—accordingly, I suppose—I thought that "touristic" was normal and I'd never heard "touristy". Be that as it may: "touristic" is stressed on the second syllable (tou-RIS-tic), whereas the one single time that I heard "touristy" it was stressed on the first (TOU-ris-ty). Is that correct?
 * Yes. Quite correct. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Is it really rare in the UK?
Seems like a perfectly normal word to me. Equinox ◑ 22:51, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:choad

leave it here
this is a good addition to the dictionary, leave it here

A Choad is a derogatory term/insult, to mean having a penis that is wider than it is long. It is a birth defect and is extremely rare.

Apparently this was deleted, gunning the supportable senses and leaving it to someone to anonymously re-enter it with the dubious sense. Brings to mind another Hindic word: samsara -dmh 07:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't really know Hindi, but I am learning and I do have the Oxford Hindi-English dictionary. It does list the infinitive verb that would be transliterated as chōdnā as the verb form of the f-word. The verb stem would be chōd, but that wouldn't really be a noun. The closest noun form they list is chōdū, which can mean a lascivious man. So the connection with the english word choad is plausible, though not confirmed. Choad in english is used as I've heard it more as a slang word for dork, loser, etc, and could have just been someone's funny idea of calling someone a f***er in a language they wouldn't know, though that's not really the correct way to make a noun out of an infinitive in Hindi. I also don't know if it is in wide enough usage to warrant inclusion. - Taxman 16:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

 * That, and the recurring usage of terms like bokachoda on some of the alt. groups from the region makes for pretty solid circumstantial evidence. I included these somewhere in the flame war over this entry.  Unfortunately, that flame war spilled over several pages and the useful information has clearly been tidied away, paving the way for yet another round.

 * Naturally we list the etymology as disputed because this is vulgar slang, not a "respectable" term. It is therefore held to a ridiculously higher standard than 99% of the entries here. -dmh 08:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * You will find that there actually are very few exceptions ("clearly widespread use") are made in the RFV process these days. It should be held to a much more stringent standard than we currently use - but the comparison you assert simply is not true.  Almost everything going through RFV gets the full treatment.  --Connel MacKenzie 08:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, but words like this are far more likely to get RFV'd. Further, it's almost a dead certainty that a vulgarity will get gunned repeatedly on the way, losing useful evidence.  Such is the case with choda, which is the likely route from Hindu into English in this case.  Then there's the material from the flame war with Ec over this one, which is spread across several pages and doubtless archived away.  But google bokachoda.  The etymology will be pretty clear, especially from comments that chutia is a variant in Hindu or Bengali. -dmh 08:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

A Choad is a derogatory term/insult. In the United States, it is often used to describe having a penis that is wider than it is long. This is a real birth defect related to Hypospadias and is extremely rare. The rest of the world seem to uniformly recognize it as the area between the rectum and scrotum, once believed to be a muscle.

Questionable citations
I fail to see the value of usenet citations. If we can't get a better source, we should just leave them out. Anyone can type anything in usenet, so it's status as a useful source is highly suspect. - Taxman 19:06, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Taxman, we report the use of a word; primary sources gleaned from the internet are excellent citations for Wiktionary. I understand that would not be acceptable for Wikipedia, but we have very different goals here than Wikipedia.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:53, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I reallize the goals are different, but there is the same need for having reliable sources. Otherwise the project degenerates into complete uselessness. Using something like usenet where again, anyone can type anything in, offers no value as a reference. - Taxman 17:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

There are 49k of google groups hits, 121K of google web hits & 180 google print hits. I can provide print cites if you want but as it is primarily used as a slang word I felt it more appropriate to attest it from written conversations i.e. usenet.MGSpiller 19:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It certainly wouldn't hurt to have print cites with the word used in running text. Three quotations isn't a magical limit. For practicality though no additional usenet references for the first two definitions, as they may not be considered independent. Sources for the second already makes me cringe, but they are from different spheres I guess, and 7 years apart. Davilla 03:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Three citations is the magical limit for passing RFV, for each sense. So far, all citations support the second meaning; the ones listed for the first obviously do not support that meaning, likewise the one for the third meaning.  Considering that this entry was a repeat target for vandals, I don't think 1, 3 or 4 are worth considering at all - but who knows what citations are out there.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:53, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I meant there's no magical upper bound, i.e. the more the better. Davilla 17:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The print cites would be much more valuable in my opinion. Please add those. - Taxman 17:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * OK on further investigation of the print hits Google revises it's estimate down on each subsequent page & none provide suitable running text quotes. Quelle dommage. :-( MGSpiller 22:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

My take on usenet is that you need to be more careful, and ideally use more citations than with, say, the New York Times. That doesn't make it useless and it doesn't lead to degeneracy. It does lead to words like choad/chode being included more quickly, which is, of course, a Good Thing. -dmh 08:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Additional definitions

 * quite possibly will be used during a discussion of someone who most find disgusting. Then you will look it up, and find this. As a lesbian, I find most talk of males penis fairly disgusting, so would guess its doubly disgusting for us.

 * I've restored this as it is acceptable for purposes of discussion. DAVilla 11:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Surely chode=bit between the scrotum & anus, choad=a penis that is wider than it is long? —This.
 * Literally wider than it is long? No, I wouldn't say that's likely. However, if you can unearth any evidence that a choad in the sense of penis is stalky or the like, please provide it. Remember we need to see actual use, not secondary definitions like Urban Dictionary (or even Webster for that matter), and that your sources must be durably archived, eliminating most forums, BBS, IM for instance. DAVilla 19:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The definition that was always thrown around in school was a "penis whose girth is bigger than its length", so a penis whose circumference was 6 inches and length was 5 inches would be a choad. While this may not be an official definition of the word, it certainly seems to be a commonly accepted slang term. -- Macaddct1984 19:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The stated definition is not correct because it is not descriptive enough.

I have heard the word 'chode' used as the strip of skin between the spider web and the scrotum, as well as a penis that has a gerth larger than the penis is long. These are widely accepted definitions heard from many US States.

The real discussion should be over which definition gets to be first, second, and third.

However, the south park definition is a valid alternate.

 * Can you find any evidence for it though? Primary source, not secondary, and durably archived. DAVilla 06:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Here are a few references...

 * Those are secondary sources. Do not add the definition back in without real, published citations from reputable independent authors spanning a year.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I've seen the term "choad" used several times during MTV's Beavis and Butthead episodes in the 90's.

Neologism?
There are a few different definitions for neologism, one of them being a new word, and another being a word made up by schizophrenics that only they themselves understand. This word is neither. It's not in a "major dictionary" as the notice says, but I didn't know that mattered on Wiktionary. This word is known to every junior high school male in the English-speaking world, and has been for a long time. The citations and examples on the article page seem fine. Why the big discussion? Can we take down this odd neologism banner? — V-ball 19:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Feedback
Um, for a bit more precision, I had been led to understand that the length/girth ratio being less than 1.0 was part of the definition. I.e. a short thick one.

 * It’s like fishermen and the one that got away. Dimensions are eyeballed and exaggerated, nothing precision. Most people don’t bother with a tape measure or a yard stick. —Stephen 01:24, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

A choad or chode is a weened but still immature male swine. If a choad is slaughtered, its meat is most delicious and is often called suckling pig, which it really isn't. If it is not castrated, it will become a boar, difficult to manage but necessary for breeding. If it is castrated, its tender cuts can be butchered and its hams, shanks, and knuckles cured or pickled. It's curious to me that so few people know this meaning of the word. It is still in common use in rural Scotland and it appears in American Revolution and Civil War quartermasters' records.
 * I think we've all eaten a bit of choad in our time. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this is an error for shoat, not a new sense of the word. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:28, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
