I would not blame that on transliteration

2019-08-23 12:28:36 UTC  

ahhhh

2019-08-23 12:28:38 UTC  

the plot thiccens

2019-08-23 12:28:54 UTC  

@Uksio there are actual rules for it, nobody learns them

2019-08-23 12:29:12 UTC  

But it has to do with the Nikud

2019-08-23 12:29:14 UTC  

sure

2019-08-23 12:29:35 UTC  

Transliteration was meant to denote a letter, not the sound though

2019-08-23 12:29:45 UTC  

So it is not phonetically authentic

2019-08-23 12:30:42 UTC  

transliteration of any language carries the same issue, because every natural language has at least some discrepancy between written and the sounds

2019-08-23 12:31:15 UTC  

Which you wouldn't see outside of elementary school books/in cases there's a need to show how to pronounce it.

2019-08-23 12:31:17 UTC  

I can think of ways to make it better though

2019-08-23 12:31:40 UTC  

Like writing some diacritics near the transliteration to denote the correct sound

2019-08-23 12:32:10 UTC  

There's no good way to denote it in English TBH

2019-08-23 12:32:22 UTC  

or make everyone write in ipa under threat of death

2019-08-23 12:32:30 UTC  

Or Latin Alphabet for that matter

2019-08-23 12:32:36 UTC  

You need the IPA

2019-08-23 12:32:49 UTC  

its extremely useful

2019-08-23 12:33:19 UTC  

Latin isn't enough.

2019-08-23 12:33:35 UTC  

Unless you want the writing look like polish

2019-08-23 12:34:00 UTC

2019-08-23 12:35:09 UTC  

ye

2019-08-23 12:35:40 UTC  

Those are not latin tho. I meant stuff like sz cz

2019-08-23 12:35:49 UTC  

French have 4 kinds of accents that can be used over different letters (though mostly they're used over "e")

2019-08-23 12:35:51 UTC  

oh you mean

2019-08-23 12:35:57 UTC  

where multiple letters are used to denote single phoneme
