喙焦
Hi there. I'm wondering if you know if the d in 焦 is pronounced as or  in this word. If it's, the BUC would need an asterisk in front of d (i.e. chói-*da) to make sure the IPA output is right (when you expand the pronunciation box). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 00:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey! To be honest, I usually hear 喙野焦 (喙野燋) with /l/, but that might be triggered by 野: I can't recall it without 野 now. That is confirmed on |Lesson 8 of the Matsu Educational Course. However, I think that, grammatically, with /t/ would fit the general pattern of NOUN + ADJECTIVE... hmmm... Michael Ly (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * EDIT: http://www.study.matsu.edu.tw/1000/images/00b.html says /t/. Michael Ly (talk) 15:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Great findings! 漢語方言詞彙 has (uei = uoi, 44 = 55 here). The tones make me think that it's two words chói da (since 213 should become 44/55 if it's one word). This would explain why 野 can be added before 焦. Also, interesting that you brought Matsu up. It seems like their pronunciation is slightly different from Fuzhou's. See Talk:麵包 for an example. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 15:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks! That's a good shout too. Yeah, one must always be wary of using Matsu for Fuzhou. And goodness, NOUN+NOUN compounds always freak me out; I never know if I'm even doing it right. Michael Ly (talk) 16:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Formatting
Hi Michael, thanks for your contributions to Min Dong! I just wanted to point out two things about formatting: Both these can be done automatically if you use. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions and happy editing! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:46, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The  parameter is required for . It is used for categorizing entries by topolect and part of speech.
 * Remember to include the simplified form in.
 * Thanks for the tips (and for your patience!) Michael Ly (talk) 01:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 01:55, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Tibetan
I see you have done some Tibetan entries. I have a lot of resources for Tibetan lexicography that I would be happy to send your way if they were of interest. --Tibetologist (talk) 07:13, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

About Min Dong
What do you think of the list of Min Dong pronunciations to be checked? It could be a good opportunity to boost Min Dong's presence.

As for the pronunciation module for the Fuqing dialect, when will it be ready? --Apisite (talk) 08:21, 26 February 2020 (UTC)


 * That list looks a little bit esoteric for me (a lot of those words I'm not sure I would even recognise aurally). About the Fuqing pronunciation module: I must confess, I haven't really had a look at for a few months - not being a coder myself I am struggling to find time to work through it all.

Min Dong Bible books
Hi, I think there are quite a few mistakes with your edits on the books of the Bible in Min Dong (if we check it against the audio bible available here). Do you have another source for your edits? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 22:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I was actually debating with myself about the sandhi domain of 提多書; on that recording, the sandhi breaks down to Tì-*dŏ̤ Cṳ̆, but most people around me go for Tì-(d)ŏ̤-*Cṳ̆. I think this may be a pace effect. We can stick to the recording and the 1908 Bàng-uâ-cê version, as it's attested. Michael Ly (talk) 08:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Lhasa Pronunciation Audio
Hello! I saw that you do some work on Tibetan, and I wanted to ask for your help on something. Is there a place where we can get an mp3 of a native Tibetan saying the word "Lhasa"? I was looking at this youtube video with three million views and I noticed that the speaker badly butchered the pronunciation of the word (3:40) calling it "La *ha sa". I almost barfed. Thanks for any tips or guidance you could share. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 01:52, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * What Wiktionary currently has for, i.e. /ˈlɑːsə/, is definitely the standard and the usual English pronunciation, across the English-speaking world. The pronunciation for Tibetan , /ɬɛː˥˥.sa˥˥/, seems to be based on the Goldstein (1984) dictionary. Then again, I do hear /ɬa˥˥.sa˥˥/, e.g. this YouTube guide. -- Michael Ly (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Old Tibetan attestation
Hi, do you happen to know the way of checking if a word is attested in Old Tibetan? Asking this because auto-generates the Old Tibetan reconstruction, and I should suppress it if the word is not attested in Old Tibetan. Thanks a lot! RcAlex36 (talk) 14:46, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Also . RcAlex36 (talk) 14:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The OTDO, from the ILCAA at, is great as a first port of call. There is also the Github page by Faggionato, Garrett and Meelen, based off the OTDO. Michael Ly (talk) 21:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * There is nothing too easy here, but the Old Tibetan Documents Online is a good start. Most of the Kanjur texts were translated in the Old Tibetan period, so the eKanjur at UVA (and Vienna rKTs) is also an option, but the actual text is the Derge version from 1733. --Tibetologist (talk) 20:37, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ
I've added the Lhasa pronunciation based on p. 881 of 藏汉对照拉萨口语字典. If it's wrong, please change it. RcAlex36 (talk) 17:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Template:R:Nihon Gogen Daijiten
Hello Michael, I just stumbled across this template. What is this for? It appears to be a partial copy of Template:R:Nihon Kokugo Daijiten 2, even linking through to Kotobank and specifying the same  section of the page. It also links through to the JA WP entry for that dictionary title, but the JA WP page for 日本語源大辞典 does not exist. In addition, nothing links to this template.

Presently, this looks like an experiment or test. Can it be deleted? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:43, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
