Wrong transcription, you will be banned to the land of yi
Edit: nvm just a different notation style. It is I who shalleth be banned to the land of yi
NGL I did 0 proof checking on this I just copied it from wikidictionary, which was harder to do on mobile than expected. For real tho, mad respect to linguists, y'all rock
I'm not a linguist, I study anglistics which just includes linguistics, among literary studies and culture.
But yeah, linguists are wild. IPA is super useful though :3 and like I said, it's actually not wrong, Cambridge Dictionary uses it as well, it's a different style of notation, which I'm not used to. I'm used to [ʃ] for the sh-sound, which Cambridge had written down as the [sj]. But, if Cambridge uses that, it's likely not wrong, it's a different notation style, which I knew existed, but I don't know what it looks like.
Pretty sure it’s a British vs American thing issue with an /s/ verses with a /sh/
Nope. It's a notation thing. You can even see that Cambridge Dictionary lists both notations for both UK and US English.
