English language

[edit]

Useful article, but shouldn't the title make it clear that the databases described are all English-language? RoachPeter (talk) 13:51, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No answer to my question, so can I suggest changing the title to 'Non-native English speech database'? The opening sentence would then make more sense. I will make this change unless there is an objection. RoachPeter (talk) 19:54, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could some knowledgeable person help out here, please? The opening sentence of this article says "A non-native speech database is a speech database of non-native pronunciations of English". This is clearly not true - you can have a non-native speech database of any language you like. If this article is entirely about recordings of the speech of non-native speakers of English, then the title ought to be 'Non-native English speech database'. But if, as the table suggests, there are other languages recorded in the collection referred to, then the opening sentence needs amending, by deleting the words "of English". My editing skills are not up to amending titles of articles. RoachPeter (talk) 10:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
