How do you write 縮めて in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)?




It's pronounced [[c̟ɕiʑimete]], although in careful speech it would probably
be [[c̟ɕiɟʑimete]]―there's no contrast between [[ʑi]] and [[ɟʑi]] in Modern
Japanese, so the word will be understood either way.

For the pronunciation of ち and ぢ, see section 4.3 "Affricates" in Vance's _The
Sounds of Japanese_ (2008), starting on page 82. [Most of this section is
