Talk:República Catalana

@Inqilābī The pronunciation is correct. Ultimateria (talk) 18:53, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

@Ultimateria: Okay, thanks. Well, I want to ask you why the word catalana is not spelt with a grave accent (catalàna), to indicate the stress on the vowel. I think the accent is shown for paroxytones… — inqilābī ^{‹inqilāb·zinda·bād›} 19:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: Words ending in vowels are grave unless otherwise indicated, and this is no exception. Words without written accents are all stressed on the final or the penultimate syllable, so yes, paroxytones need them. I think your confusion might come from the accent you had to type into {{ca-IPA}} to specify the stress, but it's just because this is a multiword entry. At catalana you can see the correct stress without any parameters in the pronunciation template. Ultimateria (talk) 19:30, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

@Ultimateria: Oh you cleared my doubt! Well, I have another question: why is the grave accent shown for the word parlàvem? Is it an exception or I got it amiss? — inqilābī ^{‹inqilāb·zinda·bād›} 20:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: It's because words ending in m are stressed on the final syllable. Ultimateria (talk) 20:21, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Ultimateria: Sorry to bother again, but did you mean this?— to avoid confusion, that word as a paroxytone is marked with a grave accent. Anyways, using {{ca-IPA}} for parlàvem shows no stress on the final syllable; maybe a parameter is needed…? — inqilābī ^{‹inqilāb·zinda·bād›} 20:35, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: Yes, that's what I meant. I should have said "stressed on the final syllable by default and marked if not". Ultimateria (talk) 21:32, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
