'relaxed'? 'flowing'? - somewhat impressionistic for an article on sound change ... 82.39.164.123 11:45, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Delineation of IPA transcriptions
Note that phonetic transcriptions ought to be surrounded with square brackets ([]) rather than slashes, while slashes should be reserved for (asserted) phonological transcriptions. See International Phonetic Alphabet#Types of transcriptions for details. Hairy Dude 04:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Sechzehn"
The ch in "sechzehn" is not pronounced /x/ but /รง/, but I don't know how to modify that example given. -- KittySaturn 11:29, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- I gather it was taken care of but I eliminated that detail since it didn't really contribute anything. --The whole treatment was recast in the interest of technical accuracy and completeness (I would have preferred to eliminate the implied causations altogether, as such things are at best pseudoscientific, but in the end decided that leaving them in but dismissing them overtly would be more educational). Many added examples and sorted by type of dissimilation, in place of sorting the examples by language (whose point was lost on me). Alsihler 18:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
