English pronunciation

Please familiarize yourself with the Help:IPA/English key if you continue instating English pronunciations. All polysyllabic words in English possess primary stress, which is marked by ˈ. "a" in "father" is ɑː, "a" in "trap" is æ, "aw" in "saw" is ɔː, "or" in "north" is ɔːr, "ar" in "start" is ɑːr, and we distinguish all these vowels even though not all of them are distinguished in all varieties of English.

This doesn't make much sense. Are you saying the third syllable (LEE) is stressed, unlike in the word Napoleon (nə-POH-lee-ən)? Nardog (talk) 13:44, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Re Ypsilanti, Georgia: Are you saying the first syllable begins with the consonant /j/ (as in "yacht") + the diphthong /aɪ/ (as in "rice"), not just the diphthong? And is the primary stress really on the first syllable, not the third? Nardog (talk) 13:49, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Napoleonville, Louisiana: yes i am saying that the third syllable should be stressed. why should it be unstressed? you know i always get confused with these type of things. i'll do better with ipa so you won't have to correct it.
Ypsilanti, Georgia: you read my edit summary right? the pronounciation has to differ so that users won't get confused. any further arguements about it should be placed here and here only. just deal with it. ---Quashawn 20:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
You instated /nəˈpoʊˈliənvɪl/, which is an impossible notation (our IPA for English is a compromise between British Received Pronunciation and General American so it can be mapped to each reader's own accent—see MOS:DIAPHONEMIC and H:IPAE#Dialect variation). No English word has two primary stresses in it. A sequence of two adjacent (secondarily and primarily) stressed syllables in a word with more than two syllables is also rare. And /i/ cannot be stressed. So if it is the third syllable that is stressed, then it must be /ˌnæpoʊˈliːənvɪl/ or /ˌnæpəˈliːənvɪl/.
/jɪpsʌlɒnti/ is also an impossible notation, as it lacks stress, and doesn't agree with the respelling YAHYP-suh-lon-tee you gave along with it. Again, where's the primary stress? And do you actually mean the first syllable is composed of the glide /j/, the diphthong /aɪ/ (or the monophthong /ɪ/ if the IPA is the one to go by), and /p/?
