Thank you!

Just a quick note of thanks for your NeverUseMobileVersion widget. A small thing, perhaps, but exactly what I've always wanted but didn't know until now existed and couldn't have created myself. May the world shower blessings on your head.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:15, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Waakye pronunciation

Thanks for adding IPA in Waakye. In transcriptions linked to Help:IPA/English, usually we don't transcribe secondary stress following primary stress within words, unlike some American dictionaries, as it's not contrastive. Given you used WAH, it seems what you meant to add was /ɑː/, not /æ/. /æ/ is a checked vowel, so it never ends a word (except perhaps in onomatopoeia like baa), and pronunciations in the cited video do sound like /ɑː/ compared to their /æ/, which is shorter and closer to to my ears. Also, /i/ is for unstressed and word-final or prevocalic positions only, and /eɪ/ is represented by ay, not ey, in our H:RESPELL key. I don't hear variants other than /-eɪ/ at least in the first few minutes of the video, but I might be missing something. But these are all minor quibbles and I appreciate your contributions. Feel free to ask me any questions (as I might ask you something about Icelandic!). Nardog (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

​Ah, thank you. That Ghanaian accent sounded identical to a short /æ/ to me. They seemed to go back and forth with the endings, with wɑːtʃɑː at 2:45 and wɑːtʃi at 0:32 for example, but that's probably not important. I rarely transcribe English here, will ask someone check my work next time. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
