Talk:Chechen/Alphabet

Untitled
Nice job! I'm really glad to see some less-commonly-studied languages on Wikibooks. You explained the alphabet well, but it's still hard for people to learn it based on a table like that - yes I know that most commercial textbooks do it just like this. However, if you really want to help people LEARN the alphabet, rather than giving them the info and leaving it up to them how they will ever get it into their heads, please consider a similar approach as in this tutorial for Korean. If you want, I can help you with that. Junesun 11:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliments! Glad somewhat took time to criticise. So, I was thinking and expecting someone to make a seperate Wikibook to teach the Cyrillic alphabet, then I would link to that book on this page. If you notice, go to is:Rússneska/А Б В Г Д, I have made a book similar to how maybe you were suggesting for the cyrillic alphabet on the Icelandic wikibooks. Of course you can help me with that, its Wikibooks :). Danke für ihre Hilfen! --Girdi 17:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

K section
Hi, I think you should rework/reword the K-section on this site. The explanation that Кх is pronounced like К without the puff of air, is missleading and wrong — this description fits to the letter КI. Кх might be better explained as a К, spoken futher back in the throat. — N-true (talk) 13:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah good point. You can adjust it accordingly. --Girdi (talk) 23:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

"Eh" for ä
Correct me if I'm wrong: ä represents (or at least, how I've heard it spoken, it's most similar to) /æ/, the a in lack in American English, no? The "eah" sound in "yeah" (/jæː/), in English... that is, I believe, distinct in English from what people usually write as the "eh" sound. "Eh" (usually pronounced /ɛ/) is different- i.e. so there is a difference between the words flex (/flɛks/) and flax (/flæks/), despite that many non-native-English speakers pronounce the two sounds identically when speaking English. Unless I'm wrong and ä is actually /ɛ/ (I haven't ever heard ɛ, but there are dialects, so...), I'll be changing the "eh" to "eah"...--Yalens (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
