Wiki Pronunciations

One thing that I think would be help full on the wiki would be pronunciations for city, country, ect. names. I found a guide on Wikipedia for it for anyone who wants it.

(note, this is for english only, sorry bout that )

other languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_IPA

That's a good idea!

thanks.

good idea. I moved this to the wiki subforums

I've begun experimenting...see the Duwamish article for an example...

whoa geoff... whats up with your flag?

BTW good idea aleks

Good idea, good not but excelent!

thanks, and sorry peter, i forgot we had a wiki section

So Fornax is ˈfɔər.næz

Hypertrophy has created its Wikia.

aran - yes

Duwamish is /duwʌmɛʃː/

Fairview is faɾʁviu

In case anybody wants a second opinion on whether their chosen pronunciation makes sense, I studied the IPA (all those funny symbols we're using) as part of my major, and I'm willing to offer advice to whomever wants it.

In other news, I've now added the pronunciation /ˈnaɪˌheɪvən/ to my wiki article on Nyhaven.

How would you use the symbols for Illu'a?

I would go with /ɪˈluːʔə/ if the apostrophe actually represents something audible; if it doesn't, I'd remove the glottal stop (the symbol that looks like a question mark with no dot), so /ɪˈluːə/.

For Corraile? (pronounced Cor-rail)

I thought Corraile is pronounced as Cor-raell (ell is well without w).

How about Bangorai' (Bang or eye)

kccl: /kɔˈɹeɪɫ/ sounds about right to me.
SkyGuy: I had assumed that the g was pronounced separately. If it really is pronounced according to your post, I'd say /ˈbæŋɔɹaɪ/.

Thanks a bunch!

My pronounciation for Bangorai' is bun-gor-rye.
Ban in Thai pronounciation is bun, thus the above. Ban in Thai means village.
The -rai' ending, for me, is stressed due to the " ' " punctuation.

But that's just me.

La (like LaGuardia) - Na (like Naboo) - Ya - Like Yea or Ya)

Cat-argh-la

Aleksania is æl.ɪks.eɪ.aɪə
