Columns with lexical sets and examples
editCan we sticky the columns with the lexical sets and examples too? I tried to, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work properly. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:23, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Grammatical error in title
editThere is more than 1 chart in this article so its title should be International Phonetic Alphabet charts for English dialects rather than the singular chart.
Dialect abbreviations in comments?
editI want to propose the addition of comments to the markup of at least the vowel chart to make it easier to find cells that editors are trying to edit. For example, the first few non-header cell of the vowel chart, which are currently:
| colspan="2" |ɛː~ɛə̯~eə̯| colspan="2" | {{IPA|ɪə̯~eə̯~ɛɐ̯}}<ref name="shortatensing" />| rowspan="4" |{{IPA link|æ}}| colspan="2" |eə~ɛəwould instead become:
| colspan="2" |ɛː~ɛə̯~eə̯ <-- AAVE -->| colspan="2" | {{IPA|ɪə̯~eə̯~ɛɐ̯}}<ref name="shortatensing" /> <-- Boston -->| rowspan="4" |{{IPA link|æ}} <-- Cajun -->| colspan="2" |eə~ɛə <-- California -->or:
| <-- AAVE --> colspan="2" |ɛː~ɛə̯~eə̯| <-- Boston --> colspan="2" | {{IPA|ɪə̯~eə̯~ɛɐ̯}}<ref name="shortatensing" />| <-- Cajun --> rowspan="4" |{{IPA link|æ}}| <-- California --> colspan="2" |eə~ɛəAs a related but separate proposal, I would find it helpful to include tags indicating the rows with the example word from the rightmost column; the first row, currently |-, would become |- <-- ham --> (or maybe |- <-- HAM -->).
Do other editors think these changes would make the current markup/code easier to use or more difficult? (I would of course volunteer to take on this effort; I'm not trying to propose more work for someone else.) -Literally Satan (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Less DEI please
