Paper encyclopedias expect their readers to learn the order of the letters of the alphabet. Learning SAMPA is relatively simple. While the table on [[SAMPA]] is increasingly complex, there is a shorter version on a sub-page which a link like [[pronounced]] should direct readers to. It's a small effort to learn, for a large gain afterwards.
Unlike what is possible in a paper encyclopedium, why not add a small wav file of someone pronouncing the word correctly?
Some weeks ago I tought my mother how to add the pronunciation of some of the words to her Esperanto course (which is in Dutch): http://www.xs4all.nl/~wvganswk/les1.htm
