Cześć Peter, it's [tɒːχ] or [tɑɒ̯χ]? Fête Phung (talk) 01:22, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I actually hear, without the rhotic. Peter238 (talk) 01:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ...or maybe actually is the rhotic. I'm not sure. Peter238 (talk) 01:50, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe the [χ] is very very weak. Fête Phung (talk) 02:00, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It's definitely not voiceless, so is not a good transcription. I hear it as a really weak voiced approximant, and since that's how you can describe a vowel, it's best to transcribe it  (or, depending on how close you think that vowel is). Peter238 (talk) 02:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you hear [tɑɔ̯ʔ] ? Fête Phung (talk) 02:23, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, there probably is a (weak?) glottal stop at the end of the word, but it's not relevant to our previous discussion about the rhotic. Peter238 (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ar far as I know, [ɑɔ̯] is a diphthong in Quebec French. I've heard a weak consonant at the end, maybe [tɑɔ̯h] ? Fête Phung (talk) 14:20, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

The way I see it, it's phonemically, but  phonetically (I honestly don't hear anything after the ). Maybe is simply elided, I don't know. I'm far from being an expert at French phonetics. Peter238 (talk) 14:26, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

[ˈpχɛ̃ɪ̯̃tɒ̃] or [ˈpχɛ̃ɪ̯̃tɑ̃] ? Fête Phung (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

tête carrée
File:FR-tête carrée.oga

Hi Peter, it's [ˈtɛt käʁe] or [ˈteɪ̯t käʁe] ? Fête Phung (talk) 23:16, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I hear the former, so . Peter238 (talk) 01:53, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's [ˈtɛe̯t käʁe] with a weak diphthong, but it's not clear, because the first syllable is very very short. Fête Phung (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't hear that. Peter238 (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Eloi's pronunciation is [ˈkχɛm fχæe̯ʃ] ? Fête Phung (talk) 21:35, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I hear . The first vowel is somewhat centralized, and the second word has a secondary stress. Peter238 (talk) 22:12, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Ancêtre.oga

Do you hear a secondary stress, [ˈɑ̃ˌsɐe̯tχ]? Fête Phung (talk) 22:22, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That file doesn't exist. Did you mean or ? Peter238 (talk) 22:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I meant the first file, File:Ancêtre Qc.oga, do you hear [ˈɑ̃ˌsɐe̯tχ] with a secondary stress sound? Fête Phung (talk) 22:48, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Even if I did, that would be the intonation. I don't think French allows a secondary stress right after a stressed syllable within the same word, but I could be wrong. As I said, I'm far from being an expert. Peter238 (talk) 22:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Do you hear [ˈtãᵐpæɪ̯t] with a [ᵐ]? Fête Phung (talk) 23:32, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * You mean, i.e. a short ? Maybe it's there, I'm not sure. Peter238 (talk) 23:44, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

[ˈpɑ̃mplœ̈mʊs] ? The [m] is clear here? Fête Phung (talk) 23:49, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Qc-Poutine.ogg

[ˈput͡sɪnɐ] ? Fête Phung (talk) 00:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * . The stress is on the second syllable, and the final vowel is mid, short, and voiceless. Peter238 (talk) 00:27, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Ancêtre.oga

The tone is [ɑ̃˥sɐe̯tχ˦˩]? Fête Phung (talk) 00:54, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * You can write it simply as . The rhotic is velar by the way. Peter238 (talk) 01:00, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Peut-être
File:Qc-peut-être.ogg

The tone is [pœ̈˧täe̯tʀ̥˦]? Fête Phung (talk) 01:05, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The tone is mid-high, but the first vowel is not short, and you can hardly hear any trilling in the rhotic. I'd transcribe that word . Peter238 (talk) 01:28, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

hello

 * File:En-uk-hello-1.ogg

Hi Peter, it's [hɛ̈ˈlɵʉ] or [hɛ̈ˈlœy̯] ? Fête Phung (talk) 18:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * . I'm not sure about the first vowel, but the first element of the diphthong is definitely not rounded, and the second element sounds rather central. Peter238 (talk) 19:04, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, have you barely heard [ive̞ɪ̯ə̯χ]? Fête Phung (talk) 21:53, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

 * You told me that you have heard [iˈvɛ̝ːʁ̥], but do you hear an [ə̯] before the [ʁ̥] now? Fête Phung (talk) 23:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
