Talk:Rāmin

Spelling
An earlier edit of this stub gave the diacritic spelling as "Rāmīn" but this does not agree with the well-developed article at Vis and Rāmin. Whichever is the better transliteration should be used consistently at all of these articles. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 15:01, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Technically, it is a long /i:/, but since classically it is contrasted with short /e/, which in transcriptions are generally represented by 'i' and 'e', respectively, this is redundant - unlike the situation for 'ā', 'a' (= /ɒː/, /æ/), where the macron on the base letter is used to distinguish actual vowel qualities. Hence, you are correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.61.179.188 (talk) 03:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
