Talk:Baku

Ethnic makeup
The history section mentions the Pogrom/ethnic murders of the Armenians in 1918, but strangely neglects to mention the one in 1989, which wiped out all Armenians in the city, as indicated in the section on "Ethnic makeup" charts where the Armenian population goes from 16.5% of the city (167,226 people) to 0.02% of the city (378 people). That seems a pretty significant event to gloss over, especially given how recent it was historically. Instead the section jumps from talking about the ethnic makeup in the 1800s, talks about how they're overwhelmingly ethnically Azerbaijani now, then skips over the rest inbetween and talks about general population stats. That seems to be a glaring omission given how it happened

Azerbaijani Pronunciation
The IPA and audio file do not match up here, with the  being written as a [c] in the IPA, but realised as a [tʃ] in the audio file. This cannot be chalked up to allophony since the IPA here uses [narrow transcription]. Furthermore /c/ and /tʃ/ appear to be separate phonemes in Azerbaijani, which are represented by two different letters in the orthography ( = /c/ and <ç> = /tʃ/). There is a possibility that the audio is correct for the dialect of Azerbaijani spoken in the city itself, but this still leads to confusion due to the IPA not matching. Is anyone more familiar with the language able to clear this up? Samdh17 (talk) 10:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
