Pronouncation

[edit]

I am not sure if this is a good source, but I speak some French, I have listened to French speakers, and I tend to hear the pronunciation of the language being [lɑ̃ŋ fʁɑ̃sɛ] more times than not, I didn’t remove the other one, but I added this to show to readers pronouncatiion can vary ChauConlangs (talk) 01:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChauConlangs: I am a native French speaker who has nearly always lived in France and I have never heard it. To me it would sound like an obvious grammar mistake. A source is necessary (ideally one which explicitly states that "langue française" is sometimes pronounced [lɑ̃ŋ fʁɑ̃sɛ]; if not that, a recording of that pronounciation would help).

[edit]

I'm asking for ambiguous and confusing phrasing in the 'Vocabulary' section to be changed. Please edit "Lexical similarity is" to "French's lexical similarity to other living languages is" because that is the most confusing phrasing in the section. Edit "other Asian languages" and "other Afro-Asiatic languages" to, perhaps, "Asian languages not listed above" and "Afro-Asiatic languages not listed above."
