(Redirected from WP:RDL#Homographs that are not homophones causing confusion)
In section 2.6 (Length), there is a table. I struggled on line 3 of this table however, as the line reads, "faites ... faire ... fait" - but says that the vowel in each is the same phoneme. I was very confused as I read this as, "(you (plural)) do... to do... done (past participle)" in which case, the vowel for "fait" would not be the same as that of faites and faire. However, the article actually meant, "(you) do... to do... fact" Since "fact" and "done" are homographs in French but not homophones, and the line in question gives some conjugations of "faire" it seems misleading to then use a completely unrelated word where there is a homograph which would follow the pattern. So, what may be done to remedy this? I can't think of an example to replace it with, as I'm not all too sure about IPA jargon and definitions. Thanks EcheveriaJ ( talk) 23:04, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Is the sound /œ̃/ disappearing in France? Please give me some source. 2405:9800:BA20:5F75:EDD0:3899:182E:DE22 ( talk) 08:41, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
People don't you think that the french close vowels sound more like consonants for many speakers? 193.92.245.74 ( talk) 22:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
In the consonants section, the old examples are all just the consonant followed by the vowel /u/. I think we should have some new examples. 2601:C6:D281:6710:E1E8:5E9D:FA34:663E ( talk) 22:15, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
