User talk:SuperJosh/Signame

You know, as someone who knows cyrillic, it always bothers me when people write in faux-cyrillic. СупэрИош is actually Supzr Iosh (I as in "in"). It should be СуперЏош (wp:Dzhe) or СуперӁош (wp:Zhe_with_breve) -- Nx / talk 19:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I was going by the Russian cryllic alphabet, in which "И" used before "o" can be used to make the "Jo" sound, if you check out {wp:Stalin)'s WP page. Also in Russian, there's just the Ж without the breve as far as I'm aware, though I'm just a beginner. But I'll have a look at it, thanks. SJ ^Debaser 19:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm 95% sure that's Yoseph, not Joseph. Ж is wp:Zhe as in treasure -- Nx / talk 19:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but in English it's translated across as "Josef" (or Joseph). I know Ж gives the "zheh" sound, and I originally used it when I tried to do my signature in cryllic before if you look [1]], but I wasn't sure about it so I used "И" this time. I'll have a look tomorrow and might change it then. Cheers. SJ ^Debaser 19:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Also I'm pretty sure "3" is "z" in Russian. Godspeed. (joking... but I couldn't resist.) SJ ^Debaser 19:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

In English, the name Joseph is pronounced with a J, but in other languages it's Y. However when foreign people's names are transliterated, the equivalent sounding letter is used, for example: JMS on russian wikipedia: Джозеф (another version for the J sound), JMS on serbian wikipedia: Џозеф. Anyway, you don't have to change it or anything, just found it interesting to mention. -- Nx / talk 19:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

That's cool. I'm a complete novice anyway, and as I mentioned Russian cryllic is the only kind I'm familiar with. But thanks, I may change it to the "Дж" one. SJ ^Debaser 09:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I changed it to the "D-zheh" sound. Looks better I think. Thanks. SJ ^Debaser 15:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
