Moresnet: en:Moresnet - 14-0 (Week 9)

Tiny European mini-state of about 3.5 km² that existed en:1816-en:1919. Nobody seems to know about it. It is linked to many geographical locations in Europa and historical events (en:Congress of Vienna, en:World War I, en:World War II, etc). The most remarkable initiative was to make Moresnet the world's first en:Esperanto state (more). The ideas of Wikipedia and those of Esperanto are remarkably similar.

Pronunciation

Okay, so how's this one pronounced? I see that some of the transliterations have borrowed the s and the t, but ja: is using ja:モレネ (morene). The only pronunciation I was able to find online was Dutch and listed two pronunciations, one with all the letters pronounced, and one with the s but no t. —Muke Tever 09:14, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

ca:Muixeranga - 11-0 (Week 8)

The catalan wikipedia is reaching the 10,000 articles, with one of the highest ratios between no. of articles (9.600 approx.) and no. of speakers (probably less than the alleged 8 million) inside the whole wikipedia project. ca:Muixeranga is one of the oldest traditions of the catalan-speaking people, and its music is like a national anthem for many and represents the struggle for defending our language. The chance that this article could be translated to other languages by usual wiki's growth is small. I can make an English and Spanish version if accepted.--158.42.184.155 20:39, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've translated it into English (en:Muixeranga), to get an idea of what Muixeranga really is.--Arnadí 11:34, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In order to translate I have to know the word pronunciation, especially how the X is pronounced. An mp3 file like was done with the Finnish translation of the week would be super.

request

I need to know the pronounciation of Pohjola in IPA, and whether h counts in pronouncing the name (so that pronounciation of 'Pojola' and 'Pohjola' would be different,) to decide the page name for Korean Wikipedia. --PuzzletChung 00:25, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I am not a Finnish speaker but I believe it would be /ˈpohjolɑ/ with the H pronounced (and possibly even voiced?), the stress on the first syllable, and the J like English "y". Try en:Finnish phonetics and en:Finnish language. —Muke Tever 06:55, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, the H does count. The name is pronounced something like "Pohhyola". If you need further help, I can record a .wav. If you want that, you'll get it quickest by dropping a message to en:User_talk:Kooo. --Kooo 00:31, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If you let me know how to pronounce Lemminkäinen and Väinämöinen, you will be very appliciated. In Japanese I found two ways of transcription; specially it is unclear Vainamoinen is [vainamoinen] or [wainamoinen]. --Aphaia 02:57, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I recorded an mp3-file, with words "Lemminkäinen ... Väinämöinen ... Pohjola" in it. It's here (128 kB). Please don't distribute it without asking. The file isnt that great, it has a huge bass-echo, but it should help you. --Kooo 00:14, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
