Monolingual?

What's the preferred way to indicate the language in which a given pronunciation is used? Should we use the monolingual string datatype with built-in language codes? --- Jura 12:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• I proposed converting this at Wikidata:Properties for deletion. --- Jura 08:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
• May be to use it as qualifier to some monolingual value? --Infovarius (talk) 19:06, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Constraint

Language as a qualifier - not necessary for Lexemes. Shall we delete the constraint? --Infovarius (talk) 13:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 Support @Infovarius: --Loominade (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

• It would be good to limit the constraint scope to items, not lexemes. @Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE), Ivan A. Krestinin: how could we do that? --- Jura 11:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

@Jura1: that’s not currently possible as far as I’m aware, but it might be useful to add. It looks like we’re returning to the idea of additional kinds of constraint scopes, which came up in Wikidata:Property proposal/constraint scope already. The current constraint scope (P4680) limits the scope according to the context type, whereas this new feature would limit the scope according to the entity type. --Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 09:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Include delimiters?

should delimiters be included into the value? [ˈɛːɐ̯poːɐ̯t] or ˈɛːɐ̯poːɐ̯t (or even /ˈɛə.pɔːt/ for that matter). Right now it seems like no one cares --Shisma (talk) 14:37, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

• I was wondering about that just this week. It should be simple to add or remove them. Is there a difference between the various delimiters? --- Jura 14:52, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
  • [] indicates a phonetic (detailed) transcription, while // indicates a phonemic (with only contrasting sounds) transcription. A transcription that has neither is ambiguous and should be avoided. It should be possible to provide both side by side, like on gronostaj (L21318). —Rua (mew) 15:04, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Agree, how about two separate Properties? IPA Phonetic Description and IPA Phonemic Description--Shisma (talk) 06:18, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Maybe a note in the (English) description could help. What with the other possible formats? --- Jura 11:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
    • This is totally wrong! Brackets should be excluded and replaced by qualifier phonemic transcription (Q16617555) or phonetic transcription (Q743569). Don Rumata 15:09, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
• When querying, one should probably make use of some normalized form. How could that work? --- Jura 11:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
• I prefer values with [ ] / /. The linguistic standard is to use them. They can be easy distinguished with STRSTARTS function in queries. KaMan (talk) 07:05, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

How to mark dialect region?

If an IPA is a description of a pronunciation in a regional dialect, how should the region be marked? I tried adding location (P276) to an IPA but this triggers an exclamation mark. See Lexeme:L1149927#F1. Robert (talk) 07:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

I found two Lexemes with each having two IPAs with different language of work or name (P407): German Eigen L344376 (German and Austrian German) and English Talk (L379) American and British English). The query I used. So presumably I should create wikidata objects for dialects and use those? Robert (talk) 08:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

All options considered, I ended up using pronunciation variety (P5237) to mark geographical areas for dialects' IPA transcription (P898). Robert (talk) 11:47, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
