Subject: Re: [tied] French phonetics
Dear Francesco,
I don't see how any of the following matters, but as far as I know
this is by far the best way to render the Russian names by means of
French phonetics.
Would the learned people of Italy really use the precise pronunciation
of Sandawe names?
Would the learned people of Italy really use the precise pronunciation
of Arabic names?
Would the learned people of Italy really use the precise pronunciation
of Bedřich Hrozný (Bedr^ich Hrozny')?
French orthography has certain rules.
****GK: Like Londres for London? Always wondered about that one, or why the Spaniards picked it up.****
