[PLUG] [OT] a question!

2007-07-18 Thread ಓಂ

I know it maybe bit difficult to understand this need and an unusual
request for the forum but is there any (internet) resource on
pronunceations of words of many languages of the world?  something
equivalent of babelfish translations but w.r.t. pronounceations..

I am looking for two things...
1. pronouneation of many indian language words and
2. pronounceations of words of many international languages...

Currently I am able to use internet to find the archives of words from
some of the world languages.  I am looking for more

Hence any pointers would be really **appreciated**

Try about.com, as in http://german.about.com

It has German language tutorials, and the initial chapters have
pronunciation guides / wav files.  I once had a French-English-French
dictionary (brick  mortar version) that had pronunciation guides and a
resource page explaining how certain syllables / guide symbols were supposed
to be spoken, but it still assumed knowledge of some basic words in French /
English.

And as you yourself would have undoubtedly proclaimed on countless
occasions, google is your friend.

However, only su can help you if you need guides on Indian languages.

I assume you have some trouble with French, and to some extent German, but
the latter is easier to speak if you can get around the excessively long
spelling.
