Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingan with IPA

André Müller ([email protected])



<div dir="ltr">Hi Lieven,<br>I don&#39;t think it&#39;s off-topic at all, and others might be interested too. It&#39;s not too difficult to write either. I&#39;ll give an extra explanation for the characters in case it doesn&#39;t come through...<br>
<br>So {Duy} would be simply written as [ɖuj] in IPA, that&#39;s a retroflex d (looks like a &quot;d&quot; with a little hook at the bottom), followed by a normal looking &quot;u&quot; and a normal-looking &quot;j&quot;. No difficulties here, if you can locate that &quot;d&quot; with the little hook.<br>
The word {Duy&#39;} has an extra glottal stop to the end, so it&#39;s [ɖujʔ]. You can find the glottal stop character in the character map. It should look like similar to a questionmark without the dot. Combinations like [-wʔ] and [-jʔ] are infrequent in the typical European languages but actually occur in other languages in Asia, North America and if I&#39;m not mistaken also in Arabic.<br>
<br>Greetings from Leipzig,<br>- André<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/5/31 Lieven Litaer <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a>&gt;</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I understand most of IPA, but how do I write the difference between {Duy} and {Duy&#39;}? This might be a bit off topic and too dificult to write anyway, so please answer in private message, maybe with a picture.<br>
<br>
Lieven.<br>
