@Crom daba, BTW, did you ever go to Mongolia? I've actually stopped over there, it was actually quite amazing! — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 10:15, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I haven't yet unfortunately, I'm not much of a traveller. My knowledge of this stuff is 100% reading research papers + trying to transcribe recorded audio. Crom daba (talk) 10:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Concerning audio files, it would be good if we could get those recorded by Forvo user Senji from UB, they use her recordings on bolor-toli.com and mongoltoli.mn, I'm not sure how to contact her and how licensing works on Wiktionary. Crom daba (talk) 10:48, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Crom daba: I know this will be declined, but I was thinking of using synthetically-generated voices that sounds realistic. One of my closest friend develops speech synthesis and recognition services, so I thought of obtaining the technology from him. — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 11:09, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
In the future we will probably have the option of automatic voice synthesis as Google Translate already does for some languages, having human voices would be better tho. Crom daba (talk) 17:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Crom daba In all seriousness, I'm working on filling in the vowels with the data already from Category:Mongolian terms with IPA pronunciation. Maybe review it? Thanks! — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 06:31, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Crom daba Is there any rule concerning when to use /e/, /i/ and /i/, /ʲi/? They are under the same part of the table... — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 12:20, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
First syllable э has merged with и in Ulaanbaatar (but not in Khalkha generally), but ээ is still /e/ in other syllables.
ий indicates palatalization, or palatality, or velarness after г in RTR stems. Crom daba (talk) 12:29, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
