10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, slight variations in vowel reduction might occur depending on regional accents. However, the syllable division remains consistent.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• фотографического (fotograficheskogo): /fəˌtəɡrɐˈfʲit͡ɕɪskəvəˈɡo/ - Syllables: фо-то-гра-фи-че-ско-го. Similar suffix structure (-ического), but different onset clusters.
• телескопического (teleskopicheskogo): /tʲɪlʲɪskəˈpʲit͡ɕɪskəvəˈɡo/ - Syllables: те-ле-ско-пи-че-ско-го. Similar suffix structure and consonant clusters, but with initial 'т' and 'л'.
