Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Edits on Dutch pronounciation/reply (2)

Hi Codecat, I never said there are Dutch pronounciation "standards", I did refer to pronounciation "recommendations", which de facto exist, which differ between the regions, and which are the closest Dutch has to pronounciation standards. Not entirely certain where you are heading towards, but it's common practice to recognize pronounciation differences in IPA, see for example English military or mandatory. Equally, the English language appendix on this makes note of the differences in pronounciation between the varieties: Appendix:English pronunciation. Opting for one IPA-recognition, and preferring the Nothern-Dutch variant, constitutes a pov. Indeed if we opt for one IPA-transliteration, we could opt for the Southern-Dutch variant as well (which to be clear, is not my suggestion either).
