Talk:Russian phonology

ʌ
[ʌ] is how they pronounce it only in St.Petersburg, in other places they say [ɐ]. GagogaSus (talk) 13:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Russia is HUGE and in various places pronunciation varies wildly. Anyway, our article say "[ʌ] (sometimes transcribed as [ɐ]; the latter is phonetically correct for the standard Moscow pronunciation, whereas the former is phonetically correct for the standard Saint Petersburg pronunciation;[23] this article uses only the symbol [ʌ]) " - This ə/ʌ/ɐ is hair splitting, and with modern mass media the distinction is blurred and pointless, unless you are a CIA spy pretending to be a Muscovite :-) Not to say that everybody now speaks Russian with anglo-saxon flair :-) - Altenmann >talk 22:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
