Talk:Wi (kana)

Removed statement

Though even in the present day, when い follows a mora containing the vowel "u", it is sometimes pronounced as "wi".

I have removed a similar statement from We (kana), so please refer to the talk page there for discussion. 222.159.203.158 04:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Note

In the top paragraph, the article is incorrect. The kana that the article states that the mora "wi" is represented by is obsolete. I can't correct this myself, since my computer can't write Japanese, so I'm putting a notice out that someone needs to fix it.

Not sure what you refer to, Joe -- I just checked the history back through March 2007, and no one has apparently changed the kana in the first paragraph, yet the kana I see there is the correct one. Or perhaps you simply meant that the paragraph should explicitly note that the kana is obsolete, in which case the proper edit was made on 9 May 2007 by ShizuokaSensei (as seen here).

Transliterations

I'm beginning to translate the Japanese article on ゐ into English. Can somebody advise me on how I should be handling transliteration for English-speaking readers? Anything I should change? Bill Shillito (talk) 07:20, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
