Contradictory tag on Note 1[edit]

Does anyone know what contradiction is being referred to by the contradictory tag on Note 1? This article itself certainly seems to be internally consistent, although the page that the hyperlink on the contradictory tag redirects to would indicate that it is used to indicate that a particular article contradicts another article. If that’s the case, shouldn’t it be indicated which other article this article is contradicting? I don’t know Turkmen I’m not totally sure what to even look for, but a cursory search of related articles didn’t reveal any contradictions. Ideas?

Sorry, I did just notice Note 1 refers to the front vowel /i/ which is not listed as one of the vowels present in Turkmen - not what I would consider a contradiction but possibly what is being referred to. Also the note doesn’t mention which allophones are used before the vowels æ and ʏː (although I would guess they should be included with the other front vowels). Sorry if I’m not following proper Wikipedia etiquette, I’m new to editing so please feel free to correct me. Andyharbor (talk) 21:00, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That tag has been there since Turkmen was combined with some other languages in one guide. There was a discussion about it that you can see here, but I don't know if it's relevant anymore now that the page has been split. — Ƶ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 03:09, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
