'''[[Help talk:IPA/Standard German#rfc_7231167|Help talk:IPA/Standard German]]'''

{{rfcquote|text=

Should add the voiceless diacritics underneath/above the lenes, as in {{angbr IPA|b̥ d̥ ɡ̊}} for transcriptions involving Swiss and Austrian Standard German? Even though the word- and morpheme-final orthographic {{angbr|b d g}} aren't fortified, they aren't voiced either and the bare symbols {{angbr IPA|b d ɡ}} might be ''more'' confusing than {{angbr IPA|p t k}} (used previously, in alignment with pronunciation dictionaries) by the official IPA standards, not less. {{IPA|[ˈhabsbʊrɡ]}} doesn't feature a voiced-voiceless-voiced sequence in the middle, nor is the final sound voiced.

There's also a question of {{IPA|[b̥v̥ d̥z̥ d̥ʒ̊ v̥ z̥ ʒ̊ ɣ̊]}} - are they in any way relevant in the southern standards? Any important allophonies we should transcribe? Then, what about {{IPA|[ʝ̊]}}? Does that exist?

And should we then switch to transcribing the voiced labiodental with {{angbr IPA|ʋ}} as far as the southern varieties are concerned? [[User:Sol505000|Sol505000]] ([[User talk:Sol505000|talk]]) 11:16, 3 April 2025 (UTC)}}

{{rfcquote|text=

Should [[Urdu]], the national language of [[Pakistan]], be referred to as "Modern Standard Urdu" in the same ways as [[Hindi]], the official language of India, is referred to as: "Modern Standard Hindi?"
