[edit] IPA for Lushootseed Words

For the sake of accuracy in pronunciation, it would look better to provide the IPA for the original Lushootseed for 'Puget Sound', or even for the Chinook Jargon equivalent if it differs from the English. "Whulge" looks a bit unprofessional...

[edit] We need to Clean up Puget Sound

Cleaning up Puget Sound is one of the biggest political topics in Western Washington. How can we provide information about this effort and the debate in a balanced manner?

[edit] School project?

I'm convinced this article has become the target of a school project of some sort. One of the students emailed me earlier when she was caught in a range block stating that she needed to edit the page for her class. As such, over the past few days many people have added text and links that are, in many cases, poorly formatted. Hopefully someone can clean this up now or when the "project" is over.

This page is a target of a class project: http://www.washington.edu/oue/ucourses/ I've been trying to keep things somewhat sane, but 150 additions are a little unruly. All entries are due by May 27 at which point I'll attempt to do some editing work to collect all the edits into something cohesive. Jeff Hughes 00:00, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah, OK. You might want to check out and/or list this at Wikipedia:School and university projects. CryptoDerk 00:08, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page cleanup?

Someone appears to have defaced the page. Please clean it up, or revert it?

[edit] Pronunciation

The pronunciation guide uses pew-jit but is the ew like the ew in new or like in few?Cameron Nedland 02:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The pronunciation is like pew as in a pew in a a church. Hence pyü is likely more precise while pew is nonetheless accurate and precise.

The get part of Puget is typically pronounced more closely to jet than jit by locals and in general the e in Puget is nearly silent.

I'd like to know how "Whulge" was pronounced. whulj, or whul-jay, or what? Jerry Kindall 06:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pacific Northwest Portal

I don't know if there is one, but if not, there should be - and if there is, this should be added to it. The Northwest is a unique region unto itself, and Puget Sound is the US hub. FireWeed 18:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I was surprised to discover that there is no WikiProject for Washington state, while Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon and Wikipedia:WikiProject British Columbia are thriving. There's even an Wikipedia:WikiProject EasternWA, but none for WA in general. Alas, starting up a wikiproject is too much work for little old me. Pfly 19:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Maybe someone over there would help start this one up. --Lukobe 19:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
