which still makes me smile every time I hear it.
ipa+sound file, is probably the most practical&ideal end goal. unless
we had a preference-gadget to provide the alternative pronunciation
guides..
[or something like that wikidata-semantic-database project, that was
going to further-revolutionize our Wiktionary and Wikipedia projects,
by making data like this extractable and embeddable. Whatever happened
to that? Probably a different thread...]

Hoi,
It is much easier to have sound files that have you listen to it. I had
added soundfiles to Jaap de Hoop Scheffer among others on the English WP.. I
had an Italian friend do Silvio Berluscone
For whatever reason they were removed.. Dutch can be hard language to
pronounce .. and as has been said, IPA is not universally understood.
Thanks.
