Hey, regarding Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_6#Template:Audio-ar, I've noticed two issues with your suggested replacement.

• ((lang-cs|((audio|Cs-Ceska Republika.oga|Česká republika)))) - produces Czech: Česká republika^ⓘ, while the original ((Audio-cs|Česká republika|Cs-Ceska Republika.oga)) produces ((Audio-cs|Česká republika|Cs-Ceska Republika.oga)). Notice that the image is in italics in the first style.
• RTL issues. ((lang-ar|((audio|Ali abdullah saleh pronunciation.oga| علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر)))) produces Arabic: علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر^ⓘ while the original ((audio-ar| علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر|Ali abdullah saleh pronunciation.oga)) produces ((audio-ar| علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر|Ali abdullah saleh pronunciation.oga)). Notice the speaker icon on different sides.

Any ideas on what should be done? Gonnym (talk) 09:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about

• [[Czech language|Czech]]: ((audio|Cs-Ceska Republika.oga|((lang|cs|Česká republika)))) – Czech: Česká republika^ⓘ
• [[Arabic]]: ((audio|Ali abdullah saleh pronunciation.oga|((lang|ar|علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر)))) – Arabic: علي عبدالله صالح الأحمر^ⓘ

Sure, that works. Gonnym (talk) 08:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks a lot for this script. Have you considered adding support for IP ranges? 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, and seems like it can be pretty complicated (especially for IPv6). If you describe a compelling use case I might, but any code will likely have to be updated once the masking comes, which gives me a pause. Nardog (talk) 10:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks a lot for revising the Spanish IPA of Marvin Park. Can you please help me about one IPA issue?

Pepe, Portuguese footballer from Brazil, seems to have different name pronunciation regarding the type of portuguese. In Brazilian Portuguese interview, the pronunciation and IPA goes like [ˈpɛpi] as the article says, but his name pronunciation in European Portuguese interview, the pronunciation and IPA sound to me like [ˈpɛp]. Is the European portuguese IPA of Pepe correct...?? --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 15:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Umm... Is there a problem or missing contents inside the question...?? --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 00:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to you, thanks for your patience. Nardog (talk) 06:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to disappoint you. Sorry for the inconvenience... --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 07:12, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, it's just my procrastination. Nardog (talk) 13:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@YellowTurtle9: I hear a lot of [pɛp] in your first video too, though I don't understand Portuguese. But we don't hear him say his name himself in either video, so I wouldn't count on them in ascertaining what the "correct" pronunciation is. Nardog (talk) 13:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the replies above...😢 Then is it possible to write both Portuguese IPAs inside the article? Though choosing Portugal as his 1st nationality, it seems that he can speak and understand both European and Brazilian Portuguese as he was born in Brazil. --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 04:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does he say when he introduces himself? That's the only question that matters. If he uses different pronunciations when speaking to a Portuguese audience and when speaking to Brazilians, then it makes sense to include both. Nardog (talk) 13:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog So sorry for the late reply. I've searched many interviews from FC Porto official interviews to many other interviews from reliable presses, but couldn't find the exact interview of Pepe himself speaking his nickname.

I've found First, Second, Third Interviews which the interviewer and the interviewee(Jorge Costa) use [ˈpɛp] instead of [ˈpɛpi] to indicate him(probably because they are European Portuguese I think), Marca interview source which the Spanish Interviewer uses [ˈpɛp], and Interview uploaded by FIFA which the comment says that he uses Brazilian Portuguese accent.

Seeing that he uses Brazilian Portuguese accent, maybe [ˈpɛpi] is more proper IPA than [ˈpɛp]. But as he doesn't revise the nickname pronunciation to interviewer when hearing [ˈpɛp], it seems that he both uses [ˈpɛpi] and [ˈpɛp] on his nickname. It's sad that there's no source of nickname pronunciation by himself so far... --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 14:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't give much weight to any of that. People overlook mispronunciations of their names all the time, out of sheer politeness. That said, if the pronunciation varies so much even among people who know him, it might be sensible to indicate both (which can be done by just [ˈpɛp(i)]), unless of course we find a clip of him saying it. Nardog (talk) 15:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see... Writing IPA in [ˈpɛp(i)] will work well. Thanks a lot for your kind help. Have a nice day!😊 --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 00:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed ((IPAc-it)) is used in only two articles (Paolo Conti) and Fiat Ducato; In my opinion, it would be sensibile to delete it and replace it with a template using DOP (the most autoritative pronunciation dictionary for Italian) symbols displaying them in IPA or in the original system, toggling between them with an optional parameter. What do you think about?-- Carnby (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we were to have a template that converts an input to IPA for Italian at all, we should make it like the one on Wiktionary, i.e. converts orthography. What I said here mostly applies. Nardog (talk) 15:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping me learn a new word. Or maybe not new but just forgotten. Whichever, I'll try to remember that one. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. If we're going to copy the compromise glyph proposed in the IPA rather than accommodate the typeface, as we do with other letters, then we should be more exact: in the Principles, it's basically a 'b' with the tail of a script 'g' -- the loop touches the foot of the 'l', then loops around again and comes up directly under the 'l'. Though there's going to be a lot of graphic variation of course. — kwami (talk) 08:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see your later comment. Never mind. — kwami (talk) 08:47, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to your comment on Commons and worked it back into the Zangief article, hoping all is well in that regard now. While I'm here since you have some handling over the IPA templates, would it be viable to have a nihongo template cooked up that allows for IPA to be at the forefront? Ran into a problem where IPA needs to be next to the term itself within the parenthesis, but the nihongo template doesn't support that, resulting in a rather rough brute force as you can see in the Zangief article. Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your pronunciation doesn't match the link you gave here. AFAIK you can't put anything at the beginning of the parens in ((Nihongo)) (which I don't think should exist), though you may use ((lang-ja)). Nardog (talk) 00:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Am I pronouncing it wrong? It should be Zan-gi-ef with the i stressed, shouldn't it?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The stress is clearly on the final syllable AFAIC. Nardog (talk) 00:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and extract the audio, listen more closely and redo it. I'll admit this is a bit of new territory for me, but like I said on commons we're hoping this'll help readers of the character articles.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The new version has stress on the first syllable, not the third. That said, I could be wrong about the original; it may be said with some strange inflection. Can one hear it pronounced in the game other than "... wins"? Nardog (talk) 02:12, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It can be heard here at the 0:40 mark, but has echo. Here's the Street Fighter V version at the 11 minute mark, albeit with the "Wins" bit after. Sadly this is probably the best audio we've got of it, the files weren't fully extracted from either as far as I can tell.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, those do have stress on the first syllable. Nardog (talk) 17:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Thank you for helping fix those. Like I said I'm still pretty green when it comes to this part. At least with Pokemon there's a full blown pronunciation guide which helps.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
