I will work on this if someone approves it

That would be a great feature! Crucial to language scholars really

@PesBandi Feel free to open a PR. Your contribution is welcome. Thank you for your work on this.

PesBandi commented 3 months ago

Hello @htcfreek, thank you for responding. I am already working on it, I just wanted to ask if I should put IPA on top of the language list, since it isn't really a language and the user might not expect it to be there.

mybearworld commented 3 months ago

That list is not only languages - "Currency" is also an option there, and it's alphabetically sorted

PesBandi commented 3 months ago

@mybearworld I know it's not only languages. What I was thinking is that when a new user sees a list that is mostly languages, they might not expect IPA to be there. If you want Swedish for example, you know to scroll down to S and look for Swedish, but if you don't know that Quick Accent offers IPA, you may not look for it. But I guess you're right, I'll put it between Icelandic and Italian.

htcfreek commented 3 months ago

@PesBandi Please keep it alphabetical. All other than that makes it complicated and kills the logic.

PesBandi commented 3 months ago

Hello @htcfreek, I'll keep it alphabetical. I also noticed that the current list is not perfectly sorted. Should I sort it?

PesBandi commented 3 months ago

Also @mybearworld, do you have any recommendations for where I should put ʡ ʔ ʕ ʢ
