<bofh> Wait, /px/? Is that how you write an /f/?
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: no, that's how you write [ps]
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: final [f] is not a thing
<egg|zzz|egg> (syllable-final that is)
<egg|zzz|egg> so the closest approximant is [p]
<egg|zzz|egg> [f] *is* a thing, written ph, but initially
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: I would put an acute accent on that o in Bunhiacopxki tbh, but perhaps it is omitted in transliteration to reduce silliness, or perhaps the tones are not as I think
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: nevermind I am right

UmbralRaptop has quit [Client Quit]
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: note the tokenization into syllables
<egg|zzz|egg> and the p standing for в being final
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: except the [f] is syllable-initial, the syllable is [fski]. Unless I'm mishearing myself, which is plausible.
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: viet syllable structure, not russian
<egg|zzz|egg> "C2: The optional coda C2 is restricted to labial, coronal, and velar stops and nasals /p, t, k, m, n, ŋ/, which cannot cooccur with the offglides /j, w/.
<egg|zzz|egg> "
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: technically the xki is malformed (double consonant), but okay that's not hard to pronounce
<egg|zzz|egg> phxki is unthinkable
<kmath> <eggleroy> @ManishEarth Other fun Vietnamese transliterations of names of mathematicians include: Cô-si for Cauchy, Bu-nhi-a-c… https://t.co/otcqwjTE1O
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: oh, so consonant clusters of length 3 aren't a thing in Vietnamese?
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: they're not a thing at length 2 even (counting ʈʂ and tʰ as single consonants)
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: xk is stretching it already
<egg|zzz|egg> but is pronounceable enough that people apparently don't write xơ-ki
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: technically there is one search result for his name written that way, so
<egg|zzz|egg> wait no it finds sờ-ki, fun
<bofh> still tempted to refer to them as Cheb-dawg & now also B-dawg.

<egg|zzz|egg> "Unlike many Native American, African, and Chinese languages, Vietnamese tones do not rely solely on pitch contour." glhf
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: as for "standard dialect", um, look at the pronunciation tables of https://vi.wiktionary.org/wiki/m%C3%ADt#Ti%E1%BA%BFng_Vi%E1%BB%87t and https://vi.wiktionary.org/wiki/m%E1%BB%A9t#Ti%E1%BA%BFng_Vi%E1%BB%87t
<bofh> okay, which one of those is "official" as per the country's language institute for use on government documents?
<egg|zzz|egg> yes mít is pronounced in Sài Gòn like mứt is in Hà Nội
<bofh> or do they actually use both?
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: those are pronunciations, not writings
<egg|zzz|egg> the ortography is unified and disambiguates things that are conflated in some dialects
<bofh> also yuck. pitch contour is bad enough alone, what you linked sounds like a horror.
