New IPA Page

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd create this page because there are a couple of Wikipedia pages with IPA's for Nepali pronunciations (e.g. Darjeeling and Kathmandu), so I believe this guide will help more with Nepali pronunciations across relevant Wikipedia articles. However, since I don't speak it, it would be very helpful if anyone fluent in the language or is a linguist can look at this as there may still be a few mistakes with this so if there are any errors present, please correct it, thank you.

If ईनार sounds too similar to इनाम please replace it with ईश्वरिय "eeshwariya" or ईश्वर "eeshwar".-1Firang (talk) 05:25, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the difference doesnot exist see Nepali phonology - Wikipedia Tspielberg (talk) 08:41, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tspielberg: As per Nepali_phonology#Vowels, "i", "ĩ", "u" and "ũ" all exist, so why are you removing the same in this Nepali IPA help page?-1Firang (talk) 08:49, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you can't tell the difference in the spoken form, it doesn't mean that there is no difference in the written form!-1Firang (talk) 09:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of your suggestions belie a misunderstanding of English phonology as it is spoken by most speakers. I have gone through and removed the "Indian English" suggestions, as this is not as helpful for a generalized pronunciation guide, since most English speakers are not familiar enough with Indian English for this to be helpful. — Æµ§œš¹ _{[lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt]} 15:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aeusoes1: Please provide a diff of what you did - I can't see anything.-1Firang (talk) 16:44, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
