Talk:Szczerbiec

message: For anyone who even knows what language this fiendishly-named object was named in, please tell the English-speaking world how in hell to pronounce it!  @_@ -Kasreyn
Well as of January 13th, 2006 the IPA is there. A layman's english pronounciation is impossible since it contains 4 sounds that do not appear in english (or more precisely  aren't distinguished in english). A *rough* approximation would be 'sh-ch-eh-rr-bee-ets'. I don't see how this could be included and have the article still look professional.

ps: sz is a softer 'sh', cz a softer 'ch', the r is rolled like in Spanish, and the c is pronounced like the 'ts' in 'tsunami'.
:Basically the word is pronounced as Cher-byets, however in the correct pronounciation ch- sound is being somewhat close to sh-. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 16:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to clear it up for those who can't read IPA, the best English approximation of the Polish pronunciation would be SHCHERR-byets; with shch as in fresh cheese, a rolled R, and ts as in pizza. It's two syllables, not three, with the stress on the first. An English word that sounds closest to Szczerbiec is probably sherbets. — Kpalion(talk) 06:41, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
