Forum:SH Archive/Pronunciation guide

I suppose that line of discussion has already been brought, perhaps several times, in the history of Wookieepedia, but a recent question on the Tauntaun talk page has made me think about this. I wonder whether we could/should use a standardized pronunciation guide for species names here on the Wook, since people regularly ask for the pronunciation of a given name. The Essential Guide to Alien Species used one, which may not be as precise as the IPA, but is quite sufficient for our intent. The book itself provides the proper pronunciation for about one hundred names, which is already quite interesting. Names such as Mrlssi can be tricky for some users, and pronunciation aides (mr-lĭs'-sē) would be most welcome. I propose that we create a special page using the same system as the Essential Guide so we can use it in our articles. --LelalMekha (talk) 18:23, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
