Pronounciation of Given Name

I thought that it might be an idea to add pronounciation advice for this mathematician's given name. I am assured by a Hungarian fellow I know that Marcel in this case is correctly pronounced as "Mar-ch-el" - and the surname as "ree-ss". I would add this, iff only I knew the correct IPA form!

After rathera long time I now know that this ought to have saie tht the hungarian way of pronouncing "marcel" is closer to mar-ts-el. Originally I checked with a friend who is a fellow mathematician who had a Hungarian housemate - now I have cheked directly with a Hugarian barman I know who told me tht in HUngary it is quite an unusuaal name!. I am still unable to render it in IPA characters. Any help would be welcome. though Hair Commodore (talk) 13:15, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hair Commodore, you can listen to the current Hungarian pronounciation at this link: [1]. I personally submitted the request months ago, driven by mere curiosity, and after a while a fellow from Hungary provided his pronounce. In general, as far as I know, in Hungarian the letter c is pronounced as the English ts (as in limits); the digraph sz is pronounced as the s in sequence; instead the letter s (alone, as in Paul Erdős) is pronounced sh as in sheaf. I agree with you that would be nice to add the pronounciation on the main article but, alas, I'm not that skilled. Anybody out there willing to help? 147.122.52.70 (talk) 17:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
