--- Ángel skrzypszy: > Wow, Jan... How can you pronounce that "noszcz" or that "wieszcz" ?? [nOStS] and [v_jEStS] This is X-SAMPA, one of several ways to represent IPA with ASCII. You can find more about it here: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~dpb/ascii-ipa.html or http://www.diku.dk/students/thorinn/xsamchart.gif. Perhaps you know all this already, but since you are new here, it might be new to you. If you want more links, email me privately :) > That sounds like Polish to me! That's exactly what it is supposed to do. Bluntly speaking, Wenedyk tries to answer to question what Polish would have looked like if it were a Romance instead of a Slavic language. Or, in other words, what would have been the result of a merger between Vulgar Latin and a West-Slavic substratum. Being a Polish translator, I have no problem at all pronouncing it.
