[edit] Pronunciation Help!!

For anyone who even knows what language this fiendishly-named object was named in, please tell the English-speaking world how in hell to pronounce it! @_@ -Kasreyn

Well as of January 13th, 2006 the IPA is there. A layman's english pronounciation is impossible since it contains 4 sounds that do not appear in english (or more precisely aren't distinguished in english). A *rough* approximation would be 'sh-ch-eh-rr-bee-ets'. I don't see how this could be included and have the article still look professional. -ATB ps: sz is a softer 'sh', cz a softer 'ch', the r is rolled like in Spanish, and the c is pronounced like the 'ts' in 'tsunami'.
