Pronunciation[edit]
svirfneblin (pronounced svirf-NEB-lin[needs IPA][1]): I'm gonna guess it's something like /sfərfˈnɛblɪn/, though that first syllable might instead make it /sfɪrfˈnɛblɪn/. If we can disobey English phonotactics slightly, the possibilities expand a bit to include /svərfˈnɛblɪn/ and /svɪrfˈnɛblɪn/ as well (and the respelling-pronunciation does seem to make that ⟨v⟩ be voiced). If you've heard it pronounced in real life by a semi-authoritative source, go ahead and add the correct pronuncation to the article itself! 129.170.187.157 (talk) 05:01, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
I've added an IPA pronunciation, as /sviːrfˈnɛblɪn/, An "sv" sound is indeed possible (look at German or Swedish). 107.3.29.160 (talk) 14:50, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
I've changed it from /svɪrfˈnɛblɪn/ to /svɜːrfˈnɛblɪn/. That's the way I've always heard it pronounced, and RPG StackExchange[1] agrees. Wallraven (talk) 00:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
