Talk:Estonian/Lesson 1

"Rough pronunciation guide" examples don't match (General American) IPA
The examples given (car, net, pink, sock, put) are pretty accurate for their respective IPA vowels according to my understanding of Received Pronunciation, but in General American English, I'd transcribe each as follows:

car - /kɑɹ/

net - /nɛʔ/

pink - /pɪŋkʰ/

sock - /sɑkʰ/

put - /pʊʔ/

For the IPA given, a better set of five examples for General American English is "car", "save", "keep", "boat", and "moon". (Though /o/ doesn't exist in American English, so a comparison to Spanish or Japanese may be useful.) Daemok (discuss • contribs) 00:23, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
