| May 2, 2022 at 6:20 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | A related question posted recently: Would this question be appropriate on the main site? | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 19:57 | comment | added | Tadashi | Maybe forvo would be more appropriated for asking these questions? | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 4:55 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | @EmilJeřábek : You're welcome, and yes about /ɒ/. | |
| Mar 24, 2018 at 20:12 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | @TobyBartels Thank you! Now it makes sense. I assume that all the /ɑ/ would be /ɒ/ in English dialects without the father-bother merger? | |
| Mar 24, 2018 at 6:11 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | Yes, my opinions about how to transcribe long vowels phonemically in English, while not entirely idiosyncratic, are uncommon; but one nice thing about IPA is that, as long as you're reasonably familiar with the transcribed language, you should be able to sound out whatever's written and understand what's being said. | |
| Mar 24, 2018 at 5:59 | comment | added | Avi Steiner | @TobyBartels If you are using “ow” to transcribe the phoneme which is pronounced the same way as the letter “o”, than I agree with your transcriptions. | |
| Mar 24, 2018 at 5:55 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | @EmilJeřábek : Avi's three pronunciations are, in order, /ˈhowməˌtowpi/, /ˈhɑməˌtowpi/, and /həˈmɑtəpi/, at least using a phonemic transcription that works reasonably well for American accents. | |
| Mar 23, 2018 at 8:24 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | @AviSteiner Whatever those strings mean, it looks like Navajo to me. Can you please write it in an unambiguous international standard, i.e., IPA? | |

| Mar 21, 2018 at 22:13 | comment | added | Avi Steiner | @PedroSánchezTerraf “HOH-muh-toh-pee”, “HAH-muh-toh-pee”, and “hah-MAH-tuh-pee” all seem to be used. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 18:32 | comment | added | Alex M. | 8 days passed, 9 upvotes, no downvote, no closure - and yet no answer? Weird! I'm also interested in the site policy about this, because I too have troubles with person's names in languages other than mine. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 14:27 | comment | added | Pooter | @SándorKovács: excellent rationalization! For years I've been trying and failing to call the book "Harts-horn" consistently, but now I know I was saying the right thing all along! | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 17:58 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Maybe in this context it's worth linking to this question on the main: How do you pronounce “Hartshorne”? It seems that when it was asked almost 8 years ago, there was enough users who considered it off-topic and voted to close. From the timeline we can see that it was in reopen review queue once and the result was leave closed. | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 10:58 | comment | added | Pedro Sánchez Terraf | I'm very interested. Please link the question if you finally ask it. What are the variants for "homotopy"?!? | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 16:51 | comment | added | Sándor Kovács | By the way, the word "Hartshorne" has (at least) two meaning. The one you meant is the person called Robin Hartshorne and in that meaning it is indeed pronounced "Harts-horn". However, the same word also refers to his famous book. In that meaning it is pronounced "Heart-shorne". Well, at least that's how I do it....but I mentioned this while giving a talk at MSRI many years ago with Harts-horn in the audience and he didn't object... :) | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 11:38 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | My pronunciation question was closed as off-topic ... mathoverflow.net/questions/71652/pronunciation-vaughan-jones | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 6:38 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Do you have an example? | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 3:42 | comment | added | Avi Steiner | @MartinSleziak I worry that for some of the more niche names, people at math.SE might not know. | |
| Mar 13, 2018 at 17:33 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Of course, your question is about MathOverflow not about Mathematics - so take my comment just as a (hopefully useful) side note. | |
| Mar 13, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I'll just point out that a nearby site has pronunciation tag - by looking at the questions in that tag you can see whether they were well received. And there are a few discussion on Mathematics Meta about such questions, for example, Questions about pronouncing names of mathematicians and Questions about how to read mathematical notation. (They are a few years old - there's no guarantee that the community sees things the same way today.) | |
