Motivation

IPA transcription (P898) should work fine to indicate pronunciations, but we need a qualifier for the spoken language variant associated with that pronunciation. ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:17, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

  Question why not use P134 (P134)? NMaia (talk) 23:24, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@NMaia: That property (which is tagged for deletion) links a parent language to dialects of it, which is quite a different sort of relationship to the language variety associated with pronunciation of a single word. ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:05, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We could broaden its scope to have it be used as a qualifier as well, I don't see why not. NMaia (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a matter of broadening scope, it's a completely different meaning. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:38, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ArthurPSmith, VIGNERON: I created the property although we should not make it common to create properties such easily without additional discussion. I hope this is ok, given the infancy of the lexicographical data community at Wikidata. -- JakobVoss (talk) 20:52, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
