Which phrase should be used: "retired English actor" or "English retired actor"? The former follows the linguistic rule that age should come before origin (see [[Adjective#Order]]). Other editors are claiming this adjective order implies that the actor has retired from being English. [[User:Barry Wom|Barry Wom]] ([[User talk:Barry Wom|talk]]) 05:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)}}

{{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)}}
