How do you pronounce "Wikipedia"?

[Umega]

I'll give you a hint: /ʍ/

i don't say it loud enough or emphatic enough on that syllable to produce a voiced sound

[Mbwa]

I'll give you a hint: /ʍ/

i don't say it loud enough or emphatic enough on that syllable to produce a voiced sound

ever?

[Umega]

unless i'm yelling

[svld]

/weɪ̌.tɕí.paɪ̀.kʰɤ˦/

I also pronuonce it /wí.kʰí.pʰé.tì.à/ in my head.

[Simmalti]

[wɪkiˈpiˑdjɐ]

[Nortaneous]

/weɪ̌.tɕí.paɪ̀.kʰɤ˦/

Where'd that /kʰɤ/ come from?

[Astraios]

/weɪ̌.tɕí.paɪ̀.kʰɤ˦/

Where'd that /kʰɤ/ come from?

Chinese.

[Skomakar'n]

In English, perhaps something along the lines of [wIkI"pi:dI@]. In Swedish, maybe ["vIk'I"pE:djA]..?

[Yng]

I'll give you a hint: /ʍ/

i don't say it loud enough or emphatic enough on that syllable to produce a voiced sound

hint: no you don't

[alice]

For what it's worth, /wI.ki."pi.djæ/.

[spats]

Cuz everyone else is doing it.

[ˌwɪ.kɪ̈ˈpʰiˌɾi.ə]

[k] is only weakly aspirated, if at all, because it starts an unstressed, word-medial syllable.

[ɪ̈] is my close schwa/unstressed short <i>. It's more front than [ɨ], but less so than [ɪ]. The distinction between [ɪ̈] and [ə] (and other reduced vowels) is only present in syllables with secondary stress and in some loanwords, otherwise it's purely allophonic (I don't distinguish "Rosa's" and "roses" except in very careful speech).

I'm pretty sure there's secondary stress (at least higher pitch) on the [ɾi] syllable. The overall contour is something like HLHHL.

believe me i never say wikipedia as loud as you think, matter of fact the w can be dropped

[Astraios]

believe me i never say wikipedia as loud as you think, matter of fact the w can be dropped

Hint: don't argue with people who know better than you.

[Umega]

trust me when i say wikipedia- people tend to think i'm whispering. even if it isn't double ^ it still loses some voicing

[cromulant]

Just for that one word?

[Umega]

maily w[v][voiceless consonant]- words

[Shrdlu]

probably [wi:ki.p^he:di:ah]

[alice]

Or /sai."te.S@n "ni.d@d/.

[Bob Johnson]

Or /sai."te.S@n "ni.d@d/.^{[citation needed]}

[Jipí]

Or /sai."te.S@n "ni.d@d/.^{[citation needed]}

Is this in accordance to the LORD's will, though?

[TaylorS]

[ˌwɪgɨ̈ˈpʰiɾjə]

Yes, I have the same lentition as Travis.

You take it a step further and actually voice your /k/ there? Heh. (While I do sometimes make it so that /g/ and /k/, or /b/ and /p/, are indistinguishable in these positions aside from vowel length, it is always in favor of merging to voiceless lenis realizations rather than to voiced ones.)

Yup, I voice it. There seems to be a consistent sound change here of /p k/ to in the same environment intervocalic flapping occurs.

Heh, if I sound change it to Mekoshan I get [ɥexpʰie].

[TaylorS]

For what it's worth, /wI.ki."pi.djæ/.

/æ/ in an unstressed syllable? Which British dialect is this?

[MisterBernie]

Since I suck at recognising my own vowels...:

Wikipedia in English, German

Wikipedia in two phrases - so it's at least a bit less forced.

[Travis B.]

For what it's worth, /wI.ki."pi.djæ/.

/æ/ in an unstressed syllable? Which British dialect is this?

Probably something influenced by (or a dialect of) Scots (as Scottish English in reality these days tends to form a gradual continuum off into Scots proper, or rather, what had once been historically called Scots now is more likely to be called Scottish English even if it has changed far less than the name change would imply). Scots dialects are kind of funny about their unstressed final vowels, commonly written -ae (which vary wildly from dialect to dialect rather than typically being reduced towards schwas as they generally do in English).

You do maintain a contrast in these cases by contrasting /p/ from /b/ as versus [β] and /k/ from /ɡ/ as [ɡ] versus [ɣ], without any vowel length contrast, from what I remember you as having said, right?

(It is interesting how rather similar phonological changes have rather different results here when combined with other phonological changes and tendencies, as contrasted with my tendency towards merging both sets as [b̥] and [ɡ̊] respectively but distinguishing them instead by vowel length.)
