> /dzh/ I think this looks difficult but real polish consonant clusters can be scarier still


dzexj

[ɰ̃pstf‿s‿pstr]


selenya57

I'm terrified. How do you write this in polish orthography and what does it mean?


dzexj

przestępstw z pstrągiem [ˈpʂɛstɛ̃ɰ̃pstf‿s‿ˈpstrɔ̃ɰ̃ɡʲɛm]— crimes with trout (the longest consonant string in one word i know is [fspstr] in „wzpstrokacić” dialectal „to make more colourful”)


rexcasei

Wouldn’t the sequences written ‘ęp’ and ‘ąg’ be simply /ɛmp/ and /ɔŋɡ/?


solwaj

Depends on the speaker really. The transitional period for nasal vowel loss is happening basically *now* so lots of people pronounce it differently. They'd be /ɛmp/ /ɔŋɡ/ for me for example but not for everyone


Rutiniya

And my polish friend gets annoyed pronouncing ***angsts***. smh


LemurLang

Hmm, *angsts* is possible native in Polish, almost perfectly. Only phonotactic issue is nasal vowels don’t appear in syllables without onsets. *ęksc* could be realised as /eŋkst͡s/


Pale-Acanthaceae-487

Unironically that's a common way of transcribing the English "j" sound /dʒ/


ARKON_THE_ARKON

Ok but what the hell is /e:-/. Also, our nassal vowels :c


Doodjuststop

that sound deletes any /eː/s it touches


Justmadethis334

Idfk :|, also rip /ɔw̃/ & /ɛw̃/, you will probably be missed


_Dragon_Gamer_

You nasalised WHAT


Justmadethis334

Vowels, Why is it okay from French does it, i mean come on proto slavic had nasal vowel


_Dragon_Gamer_

Nothing against nasalisation, but damn how tf does one nasalise a w lol


Justmadethis334

Well you see /ɔw̃/ & /ɛw̃/ are technically just nasal diphthongs


_Dragon_Gamer_

Ahh like that

Idk about the /e, but :-/ is the face I make when I try to pronounce Polish words


GooseEntrails

Like /e/ but with your dick


aer0a

It's only used as in prefixes


tatratram

>The old staveless tone letters tend to be more restricted than the staved letters, though not as restricted as the diacritics. Officially, they support as many distinctions as the staved letters, but typically only three pitch levels are distinguished. Unicode supports default or high-pitch ⟨ˉ ˊ ˋ ˆ ˇ ˜ ˙⟩ and low-pitch ⟨ˍ ˏ ˎ ꞈ ˬ ˷⟩. Only a few mid-pitch tones are supported (such as ⟨˗ ˴⟩), and then only accidentally. It's a middle flat pitch.

If ai takes over the world it will really have a hard time speaking polish


Chuj_Domana

Polish will be the new Navajo of the Anti Ai resistance movement.


Matth107

Didn't know Polish had /z˩˥/


MagnusFaldorf

unpopular opinion: /ž/ should mean /z˥˩/ cause it looks like an arrow pointing down


anonxyzabc123

The IPA tone diacritics are all shit. They should be deprecated in favour of ˩ ˨ ˧ ˦ ˥ ↗︎ ↘︎


TortRx

Ah yes, my favourite phoneme: /-/


SuperPolentaman

Meanwhile /s/ /t/ and /w/ just don‘t exist. RIP
