Translingual is not a language and it doesn't have its phonological system. Maro 16:23, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But translingual items can and do have pronunciations. The Category:ICAO spelling alphabet for example has officially designated pronunciations which are internationally recognised. —CodeCat 16:38, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I, for one, would like to know how to pronounce some of the genera and other taxons. At the very least where the stress might be is independent of the phonological system of the language in which the word (or phrase for species names) is embedded. DCDuring TALK 18:00, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Latin names of the taxons are pronounced differently depending on who's pronouncing them. English speakers pronounce them in anglicized Latin, German speakers pronounce them in germanized Latin, and so on -- and stress is not necessarily independent of this. —Angr 18:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think. I've added pronunciations to Translingual sections with tags like {{a|English}} to show it's an English pronunciation of the term. For example 20 is pronounced /ˈtwɛn.ti/. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would actually think that the pronunciation is for twenty, and that 20 is just a translingual representation of that word. So it should really have something like 'for pronunciation, see twenty and its translations'. —CodeCat 20:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To take the case of taxons, the utility of this would be to provide users an acceptable pronunciation for use in, for example, a presentation of a paper they might be giving to a possibly international, technically competent audience or in a podcast to a similar audience. If we don't have anyone who might be able to respond to that concern, I guess we can provide external links to this work or others like it or to MWOnline.

As Angr notes, that would seem to depend on what language the rest of the talk is in. (Or is the talk composed solely of the pronunciation of a sequence of taxa?  :-) )
Delete. We should also hunt down and fix ==Translingual/Pronunciation=== entries.​—msh210℠ (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The world won't miss our not having it as other sources with fewer scruples are available. DCDuring TALK 17:15, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
