[edit] Pronunciation

The pronunciation guide in this phrasebook contridicts the pronunciations written in brackets within phrases themselves. It says "a" is pronounced "u" like in "mum" yet says the word "hvala" (thank you) to be pronounced as (HVAH-lah). This isn't the only place, it is thoughout the text. The pronunciations aren't the only thing that is off, the entire phrasebook is a mess. Sorry to criticise, and well done to the person/s who created it, but it needs sorting; I'll help in anyway I can but my knowledge of the language ends beyond knowing where it is spoken.

Yeah, Slovene vowels are a mess. I've fixed the weird a-as-in-mum thing (which doesn't sync with Wikipedia or my own experiences), but unfortunately I, too, am entirely unqualified to fix the rest of the guide... Jpatokal 09:07, 4 February 2007 (EST)

[edit] alphabet

hm.. As Slovenian is my mother tongue, I can easily say that Slovenian does not have consonant "šč". So one please correct this. Slovenian consonants are: b, c, č, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, š, t, v, z, ž.

Slovenian is not phonemic: the sound of "šč" is not the same as saying "š+č". Jpatokal 23:59, 2 March 2007 (EST)
