::I think an IPA would actually be very helpful on some articles. There's been confusion about how to pronounce words like "Sangheili" and "Jiralhanae", which could be cleared up with little effort. On the other hand, it would need to be restricted - we don't really need it for most non-human-related articles, for example, or for trivial things.-- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 18:53, 30 November 2011 (EST) | ::I think an IPA would actually be very helpful on some articles.

::::That's the problem: '''''we'''''. There is no official pronunciation for all these "alien" words and to rely on trailers would simply create inconsistencies. Unless 343i releases information on how to pronounce them, I suggest avoid it.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 20:38, 30 November 2011 (EST) | |||
