Talk:Russian phonetics

The development of /e/ into /o/ under stress: OR &#1089; &#1123;&#1084;&#1077;&#1085;&#1098; /s&#277;.'me.n&#365;/ "seed" (gen. pl.) > R &#1089;&#1077;&#1084;&#1105;&#1085; /s&#690;&#618;.'m&#690;on/ "seed" (gen. pl.).

That should be changed for a better example, since the oblique form &#1089;&#1077;&#1084;&#1105;&#1085; is incorrect (should be &#1089;&#1077;&#1084;&#1103;&#1085;). I could do that but I'm afraid to mess up the phonetic spellings.

I have changed two phonetic symbols throughout the article to agree with IPA in Unicode, replacing &#612; (the symbol for the close-mid back unrounded vowel) with x to symbolize the Russian letter X, and replacing &#640; (the uvular trill) with r to symbolize the Russian letter P.

Non-standard IPA
I noticed you're using the character to describe &#1097; as well as &#1095;. I've never seen these before and I can't find them in the regular IPA set. Are these used by phoneticians? Could you cite some sources on the matter? Peter Isotalo 13:20, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
