   Well… that's rather typical of wikipedia.
   If you go looking on Wikipedia you'll find phonetic alphabet soup - screenshot_mpv:watch?v=z7DuvWVazpk@00:07:01.521.png

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me that looks like it has so much detail that it describes more like "how a specific person in a specific recording pronounced this word" rather than "how speakers in general pronounce this word"

     @ignaloidas yeah that quite seems like it, although I'm not a linguist so I can't really say for sure

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me I mean all of those little symbols that zalgofy it are essentially minor sound notes from what I recall about IPA
     
     IPA is cool in that it can be both quite general, an very specific, depending on the circumstance, there's certainly space to go into minute detail for language preservation (it was designed before sound recordings after all), but there's a danger of going too much into specifics.
     
     Though, at least the brackets in the image are correct for what it's worth.
