message: Actually, I think the article "Garðar Thór Cortes" is one where a respelled pronunciation would come in very useful. Can we consider restoring it? Not many people read IPA symbols with ease, particularly those representing Icelandic phonology, and on my browser the character that you inserted after the "r" in "Cortes" doesn't even display properly – it appears as a little square. (What character is it supposed to be?) Also, I'm not sure it's right to consider the respelling system I used as "idiosyncratic" as I was applying the system set out in the "Help:Pronunciation respelling key" article.

replies: text: It appears as a little box to me too. I'm hoping that it displays somewhere as an unvoicing of the r. Can you explain to me the pronunciation information you want to add? What I removed was unintelligible to me. Haukur 01:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

text: No, ɹ is not an unvoiced r. I guess I understand your pronunciation key now but I don't quite see the point. Why use two systems and why should this be the second one? IPA is something standard which is known by many people while I have never encountered what you're proposing before. Haukur 01:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I've never heard of any standard used on Wikipedia except IPA. I don't know about the merits of this particular system but if it's meant to be intuitive I'm not sure how well it succeeds. For example I doubt most readers will realize that they're supposed to pronounce 'dh' as a fricative. Where this cluster appears in English it's usually either in compounds or in loan words from Sanskrit or its derivatives (like dharma). In those words it is, if I'm not mistaken, pronounced [d] in English and [dʰ] in Sanskrit. Haukur 02:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Oh, I forgot. The [tʰ] and [kʰ] sounds are common in English; they're the first sounds in 'take' and 'cake' respectively. The [t] and [k] sounds are found in 'steak' and 'score'. A broad phonetic transcription of English might not indicate this difference but it is phonemic in Icelandic and thus crucial to note. Haukur 02:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
