ɵ English approximations are wrong

Neither of vowels "ɵ" (stressed/unstressed) do sound remotely similar to "foot" (which is purely "u"). 78.84.117.99 (talk) 20:51, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Ok, maybe I didn't point out. My grievance is with sounds in words "ма́чо" and "сёрфинги́ст". The "foot" example should be swapped to something like "goat". See Close-mid central rounded vowel.

The "foot" example would only makes sense for IPA "ʊ". 78.84.117.99 (talk) 11:42, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Я Е Ё Ю /ja, je, jo, ju/ combined sounds

Hello,

I have noticed that the sounds of Я Е Ё Ю aren’t on this page. I feel like they are distinct sounds of adding /j/ to the vowel sounds. Could /ja/ /je/ /jo/ and /ju/ be added?

Adding two sounds can also be seen on the IPA Arabic guide where they have a distinct sound with /aj/ and /aw/. This is why I think the sounds mentioned above should be added to Russia’s phonology. 2402:B801:2846:2400:20E7:38D2:4B24:58D3 (talk) 06:01, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

It's all there — see cite_note-7 . Vowel allophony is explained in Russian phonology. Tacit Murky (talk) 09:13, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

There are so many mistakes here

No one says дж in Колледж like Ch in Chop It's more like J in Job

Don't mess up Г with Х, there are only few words where Г is pronounced as Х, such as Бог or Легко; in the most cases it's Г as is

And etc., that page looks wrong 94.241.236.162 (talk) 05:36, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

soft ɣ

the word currently listed with ɣʲ is actually pronounced with ɣ

needs to be replaced with something that has ɣʲ (but I don't think such words even exist?) LICA98 (talk) 14:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Only with Southern Russian dialects: «доро́ги» [dɔˈrɔɣʲi] 'roads' (or ɦʲ). Tacit Murky (talk) 23:05, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
