I can't view some of the symbols. Is there any program or a patch to my Windows XP to solve this problem? --Acepectif 04:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

A good browser should have them. Switch to Firefox if you are still using Internet Explorer. — Paul G 06:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Percussive consonants

What are Bilabial and Bidental percussives? Are they used in any languages? Could anyone who knows what they are create the articles about them? 68.76.105.196 17:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extensions to the IPA

Hi, where does the name "Extended IPA" come from? Is it widely used in phonetics/speech pathology circles? I'm asking because the Handbook uses "Extensions to the IPA", not "Extended IPA". --Kjoonlee 00:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

No sources? Is the title of this article OR? --Kjoonlee 10:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Probably a mix up. The Handbook refers to "extended IPA symbols" and the "extended IPA character set". I wouldn't call it OR, though: We have thousands of articles with de novo names due to one compromise or another. (Right now I'm looking at Brāhmī script, which was so named to avoid edit wars over whether or not it's an "alphabet". I would hardly call that OR.) It doesn't matter to me which title we choose for this article, and I seriously doubt anyone will object if you just go ahead and move it. kwami 05:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I support the move. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 07:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
