Help[Facts] Re: Proper French pronunciation of Mélusine
in reply to a message by Lumia
Ok, I suppose I stand corrected. I do remember learning it while in Lycée, but its vaguely all coming back to me now lol But I remember really studying it in University in the States. That was only roughly 2 years ago so maybe that is why I remember learning it there better than I remember learning it in France. Is there a way on the keyboards to reproduce some of the IPA symbols, or do you pretty much have to cut and paste?
I looked through my Larousse and it didn't really list Mélusine, (captilized), other than a folkloric figure, but then again, mine is an old edition. Interesting to know its the name of a type of material. I already knew about its heraldry. Supposedly Starbucks bases its logo off of the figure from legend. :))

In order to write the IPA symbols, I cut and paste (I write it in a Word document, with the font SILDoulos, which is specific for IPA). But even cutting and pasting doesn't allow to see the IPA symbols in a lot of forums.
Yesterday, while editing my post about Eilwen, I saw that the program converted the IPA symbols in codes (for instance "e" was transformed in "& # 601 ;" [without spaces]), so there is another way to write the symbols, but I don't know the equivalences yet.
