Hoi,
I am not an important person. So I will not record my name. Names and
words like Rembrandt van Rhijn, Vincent van Gogh, Scheveningen are more
relevant. I really want Americans to say Houston or New York and we
already have a "George Walker Bush", and need all these other Presidents
and famous Americans.. I want to have locations. English locations
spoken by an Englishman, Australian places spoken by an Australian. I
have done Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Vlissingen...
For nl:wiktionary I record the Dutch words in Commons for the nl: and
other wiktionaries; because that is one of the things that it takes to
have wiktionary stand out. Yes, I want recordings of words in Hopi too.
Thanks,
GerardM

I think what he meant is, do we need a file of somebody
pronouncing
"Gerard Meijssen" the Dutch way on the English wiktionary, or a file
of somebody pronouncing the way it is usually pronounced in English?
Jacques Chirac is pronounced /ʤɑk ʃɪ˞ɑk/ in English from my
experience, while in French it would be (I think) /ʒɑk ʃɪɾɑk/.
I don't know which side I take, the point of this e-mail was to
clarify V. Ivanov's question rather than to state my own opinion, so
please don't direct the response to the question at me.

Sorry, but what is the point here?
To provide real pronunciation files in the origin language or to
provide the standard pronunciation of the foreing word/name in the

Hoi,
For Wikipedia and Wikinews the idea is to have pronunciation files in
the original language so I would ask you to pronounce ирон, иронау, ирон
æвзаг.
For those that do not know Ossetian like me, this should read as
Ossetian in Ossetian ;)
From a wiktionary point of view, it makes sense to have "Ossetisch" as
well, the pronunciation of this Dutch word can be found here:
http://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ossetisch
Thanks,
GerardM
