verify audio pronunciation of Ohkay Owingeh?
Hi ! I saw you had requested the pronunciation. Can you verify that I got it right? I consulted this TEDx talk on YouTube, so I hope I did the name justice. = paul2520 💬 14:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Paul2520, thanks for filling this pronunciation request and even verifying it with me. I actually consulted this same TEDx talk when adding the pronunciation section to Ohkay Owingeh. I only have one suggestion for the audio you added regarding the stress of the first word. All reputable instances of its pronunciation place initial stress on "Ohkay" (I hear it on the final syllable in your audio). Other than that, great audio quality, keep up the good work.
 * Upon listening to your and several other pronunciations available online, many of which come directly from English-speaking members of this pueblo, and further analysis of English phonotactics, I plan to change the final /ɜ/ I transcribed in "Owingeh" to /ə~eɪ/.
 * Thanks again! BenPulliam (talk) 18:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @BenPulliam ohkay, that makes sense. Would you check out the new version here and let me know what you think? = paul2520 💬 19:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
