Roman numerals

Should we disambiguate pages like this given they could also be Roman numerals? C, D, I, M and I would also need these. John Stephenson 03:08, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

The Roman numerals would go fine in the intro. However, I think we really need two articles here, as what you have added is about the sound. A separate article on /v/ (sound) with a link from the letter article? (I tried putting the phonetic square brackets in there but it didn't work, so I substituted the phonemic //). Ro Thorpe 08:54, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

OK, maybe /v/ (phoneme) would be better. John Stephenson 09:03, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

Yes, fine. Ro Thorpe 09:28, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

See V (disambiguation). --Robert W King 09:35, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

So are we going to have articles on the Roman numerals or just mention them in the introductions to the ones I started? Ro Thorpe 10:59, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

I think we should have just one article on Roman numerals. It doesn't make any sense to create seperate articles for "M", "C", "X", "V", "I", "L", "Q". --Robert W King 11:06, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

Right, I'll make adjustments accordingly. Ro Thorpe 11:08, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

What's the best way to name phoneme articles so that they are easy to find for non-linguists? Ro Thorpe 11:24, 1 April 2008 (CDT) - I suppose links from the letter pages for the phonemes as with /v/ (phoneme) above. Ro Thorpe 11:56, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

Phoneme articles

Actually, after a night's sleep I'm starting to think that /v/ (phoneme) would be a bad idea; there would be little to distinguish it from /f/ (phoneme), which we would also logically have to create. It also fails to capture the relationship to other labiodentals and fricatives. I think it would be sufficient to have an article called labiodental fricative or labiodental fricatives.
