[edit]

The pronunciation is taken from http://users.otenet.gr/~bm-celusy/chart1.html Someone experienced please polish this page. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Certik (talk • contribs) 04:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC) (Also edited by Certik (talk • contribs) on 03:19, 8 September 2006 and 17:25, 8 September 2006.)

Greek

[edit]

Maybe it would be useful to list alongside the actual Greek pronunciation. Lemmy Kilmister 11:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, is there a list somewhere of the Greek pronunciation in IPA? I always feel wrong saying /ˈkaɪ/ when it's /xiː/ in Greek right? --Aceizace (talk) 14:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. kwami (talk) 17:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Touch Up

[edit]

I guess I'll take a shot at this, presently - not sure I can polish it (not too experienced! :-p), but I'll add Greek pronunciation, and especially clear up on the English pronunciation (I can imagine that my British brethren use the pronunciations given, but while the sources seem to cover American ones, the page itself only covers a few - and includes some that my American ears have never heard!).

Variant for φ

[edit]

In physics, at least, many people pronounce φ as [fi] rather than [faɪ]. --Delirium 04:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC) -- Yes, but I heard [fai] from US physicists as well. For me, as a non-native speaker, the english pronunciation of the greek letters is very confusing and it's hard to find out what people are actually saying, without living in the US. And British people use different pronunciation. Certik[reply]
