(My €0.02 contribution to the off-topic thread)
I'm happy Polish has no doubts regarding pronunciation. No flavours,
different versions, etc.
And it is IMHO very clearly and simply defined. Note, it doesn't mean
the Polish is easy to learn to at least easy to speak.
BTW: German pronunciation rules are also quite easy and consistent.
Something to learn:
Szczebrzeszyn
Łękołody
Łódź
(Google translate will pronounce it quite correctly)

I didn't think of PLUGH. I just pronounce that "ploo".
Anybody here ever figure out what to do with "Hello, sailor!"? I never did,
but a friend of mine told me where it's valid.
(Oh, "5-syllable pronunciation"! I get it now!)

The only way I could ever get it to work was to spell it out, so I've always
pronounced it ex-why-zee-zee-why.
Plugh also had to be spelled out, but it's pronunciation was much less
enigmatic.
