brackets[edit]
Changed to brackets because these are not phonemic transcriptions. There is either no phonemic tone at all (heiban), or a single tone/downstep, not one on every syllable. We're showing narrow phonetic detail. Of course, "ch" doesn't belong in a phonetic transcription, but one fix at a time. Maybe it would be better to use italics than brackets? kwami (talk) 21:45, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
