Sorbian

Can someone add dsb and hsb as codes for Sorbian? They should link to Help:IPA/Sorbian languages. Thanks. Sol505000 (talk) 14:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need "languages" in the key title? (Compare the keys for Malay, Kurdish, Nahuatl, etc. There's also wen.) Nardog (talk) 14:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, wen should also be added. As to "languages" in the key title, I'm ambivalent. We can move the guide to Help:IPA/Sorbian as we don't have Help:IPA/Serbian anyway. Sol505000 (talk) 14:47, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Nardog (talk) 14:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 10 November 2023

Please add Help:IPA/Pashto. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 04:55, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Psiĥedelisto: Can you either excise the alternative symbols, or make it clear which symbol should be used in which context so transcribers can know when to use which (preferably by adding words to illustrate the allophony)? Listing multiple symbols for the same sound defeats the whole point of having a key. Nardog (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog: Do you mean like give examples of words with all the different sounds for e.g. و (w, u, o)? Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 16:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, either that or pick one. One of the main purposes of an IPA key is to enforce consistency between articles, so if multiple symbols are listed without clarification on when to use which one, both readers and editors will be confused. Nardog (talk) 19:32, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The key is also lacking stress even though Pashto phonology says it's contrastive. Nardog (talk) 19:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deactivating edit request as this does not appear to be ready to implement. Please agree on what exact code should be added, code it up in the sandbox, and, if you still need the attention of an uninvolved template editor (as opposed to Nardog implementing themselves), reactivate the template. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
