"Faggin Nazzi" writing system?

Is this for real? Or is it vandalism? See the red link in the "Usage" section of the article. Agent X 12:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

It is real. See http://www.friul.net/dizionario_nazzi/norme_ortografiche.php if you read italian. rado 13:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

And to remove any potential confusion, I wrote a stub about the Faggin-Nazzi system. rado 13:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Red letter

Is there a good reason why one of the letters is in red? I searched for red and it doesn't appear. 84.9.54.175 (talk) 22:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Because it doesn't link to an article.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization of DŽ in Slovak

I have removed the statement that with DŽ in Slovak, capitalization of both D and Ž is preferable. Cf. [1], [2], it was incorrect. When it's freestanding, yes, but not when it is a part of a word. Can a native speaker give a definitive answer?

No doubt only the first letter is capitalized. I am not sure how much "dž" is considered a letter of its own in Slovak, though in Czech it is not a part of the alphabet (the only "digraph letter" is CH, representing /x/). Nevertheless, even in CH only the C is capitalized. The same applies for Slovak, and digraphs in other languages such as English. I am a native speaker of Czech, not Slovak.

Other form

In my large atlas, the form of the caron in ď/ľ/ť is not an apostrophe, but identical to the horn on Vietnamese ơ/ư. Is this common?212.137.63.86 (talk) 11:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I cannot see any difference in the shape of a (serif) apostrophe and a horn. Apart from that, a horn touches its base letter, whereas an apostrophe or a caron does not. — Emil J. (formerly EJ) 12:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Caron

Can anyone provide a pronunciation (in English) for caron?

I could not find the word on a free dictionary site. Or even in the online version of the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.

As it's spelled, I'd assume. As Care + on, or IPA kɛɹɑn in American English or kɛəɒn in British English (much more speculative, since that's not my dialect.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

kærən in British English. BabelStone (talk) 00:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
