[edit] Sumerian pronunciation

This is not an article on the pronunciation of the Sumerian language (which is obviously a complicated problem, as the spoken Sumerian language has been dead for the last roughly 4,000 years and the writing is partly syllabic, partly ideographical, and more than one language variety appears to be attested in the written sources). This is instead a short list of (mostly) Sumerian proper nouns with their conventional pronunciation in English. The topic is obviously valid and encyclopedic, but this is not even an attempt to treat the topic indicated by the title. --Uppland 09:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and redirect to Sumerian language. The English pronunciations of Sumerian names can be given (in IPA, not the ad-hoc system used here) on the individual pages of the names in question. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 12:55, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Agree, this serves no purpose that IPA on the relevant pages would not serve better. DavidConrad 05:03, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Sumerian language. Agreed with Angr. It's something that should stick to Sumerian language page, in a paragraph by itself. I think it would not grow enough to make a separate page for it. --MekaD 15:56, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete until someone wants to write an article actually on the topic given by the title. --zippedmartin 18:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
