Talk:Amn

Disgusting place. I considered running a D&D adventure here, and I quickly changed my mind when I saw that one percent of the population were half-orcs. And I'm not being racist, it's just that Baldur's Gate states that half orcs smell bad and that Amn is at war with Baldur's Gate, which I like (the town I mean) plus they kidnap people from Candlekeep. I LOVE Candlekeep! Curse Amn. Not really. Cell4 02:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Top notch work on this article :) On a side note 11 edits in one sitting? :P Zerak talk 15:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I prefer to save in a series of small edits because then if I make a mess, I can just revert it! Fw190a8 15:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Old Wikipedia data

 * Because it would too much work for me alone;
 * Because I worked so much on the Wikipedia entries;
 * Because I believe my intense researches are still of use (especially the labourously collected external links);
 * Because I do not know enough of the forgottenrealms Wikia lore to dare or wish to intervene directly anymore,

I just paste in the permalink of what I believe to be most exhaustive Wikipedia entry on the topic:

Most complete permalink for Amn

(starting point: Geographical index of Toril on 18th of March 2007)

Could some kind soul take care of extracting the data somewhere it would not be deleted again because of “lack of notability”? Note that a lot of content may be duplicate and also has to be rewritten. Some link shouls also be checked (think archive.org] if nothing else), Wizards of the Coast not being that serious with permanency of data.

Category links!
I gotta ask, the category links in the state box are showing... i cant seam to find why that is because other places like thay have the same "yes" answer in the box but in Amn docent link correctly.

 * I spent about five minutes looking at and comparing the infobox code for State and Location before I realized it was because the name parameter of the infobox used Amn instead of Amn. All fixed! Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 12:23, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The IPA transcription of the pronunciation seems to misinterpret its source. The cited source provides it only as "AWW-mmm" (with no further phonetic information), which certainly could be consistent with the IPA transcription if the author were using one of the myriad traditional respelling systems used for English. However, looking at the other respellings used in the same source, this is clearly not the case. The author is instead using their own idiosyncratic (and highly ambiguous) system.

It is my opinion that the author did not intend the extremely unusual pronunciation presented in this article, but instead either /ˈɔː.mː/ or /ˈɔːw.mː/. In any case, there is little reason to believe that the author intended the listed (and, frankly, comical) pronunciation /ˈɔːwmmm/ (which also fails to notate the syllable boundary which is provided by the source). 115.70.210.235 03:12, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


 * After some investigation, I see that this problem is a result of limitations with Template:Pronounce. See the talk page there for my proposed solution. 115.70.210.235 03:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I fixed the IPA here and also responded to your comments on Template:Pronounce. thanks! ~ Lhynard (talk) 22:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
