• Got it. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 15:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

  c. with a full stop/period after it is the most common way to write circa, however you put c, with a comma after it, please correct it. Thank you. JhonJhonII (talk) 15:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Not corect phonem for Norwegian

The article says:

Pronunciation of ⟨g⟩ by language

Orthography	Phonemes	Environment
Norwegian	/ɡ/	Except before ei, i, j, øy, y
	/j/	Before ei, i, j, øy, y

That's not correct as these words are examples of using /ɡ/:

• giss
• gidde
• gitar
• gøy
• geirfugl

While these words uses /j/

• gi
• gøying
• geit

I think it should be like this:

In Norwegian, g is silent before j, as in gjøre (to do). It is usually pronounced as /j/ before ei, øy and i in originally Norwegian words, such as geip (grimace) and gi (give), but as /ɡ/ in originally foreign words, such as geistlig (clerical). Before e and i in originally foreign words, the letter is pronounced in different ways depending on the language the word comes from:

• as /ɡ/, e.g. general,
• as /ʃ/, e.g. generøs (generous),
• or as /dʒ/, e.g. gentleman.

Before y, g is usually pronounced as /j/, but in many foreign words, it remains /g/.
