[edit] How to pronounce yl
Could someone who knows it add the pronounciation please? I suppose it should be possible without a knot in the tongue as I get it ^^ --峻義 Jùnyì 論 09:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
ylang-ylang pronounced ee-lahng ee-lahng for non-linguists. KaElin 04:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
The IPA [ˈilɔŋ ilɔŋ]) seems to be at odds with the non-IPA 'ee-lahng ee-lahng'. Is 'ah' an open 'a' (as in father) or does it really represent the sound in 'caught', as suggested by the IPA? Phytomagus 17:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I am no linguist but I am a native Tagalog speaker. The 'ah' is an open 'a' as in 'father' not the 'a' in 'caught'.KaElin 01:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
