Unless they themself spell their name like that, you should add an apostraphe to indicate the correct pronounciation.--TauDudeBlobber (talk) 21:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Tau ^^. Yes it might be a better clarification of the mōra right? I'm not sure what the correct pronunciation is at present. From EvieMelody ✿ 01:18, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, it's not just about mora divisions. The Japanese moriac nasal ン is commonly explained as being pronounced like English "n", but it's pronounciation is strongly variant by context and in some cases speaker. Even linguistic papers have incorrect information on the pronounciation of this sound. When the next sound is a vowel, it takes a very liquid sound that's very distinct from English "n". It also can result in what sounds like a "y" or "w" before the vowel, depending on the vowel and the speaker. "i" and "e" can sound more like "yi" and "ye", and "u" and "o" can sound more like "wu" and "wo".--TauDudeBlobber (talk) 07:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
