== Introduction == In the course of creating and editing articles, there have been times when a '''simple Wikipedia guide to indicating pronunciation''' was sorely needed. I'm not alone in noticing this. Opponents of this view point to [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] and [[SAMPA]] as alternatives, but they are '''much more difficult to use''' for both writers and readers. They have their place in language studies, but for ordinary use Wikipedia should use a simple guide, in my view, as do many reference works. Details of my proposal are at: :'''Draft guide''': [[Wikipedia:Pronunciation (simple guide to markup, American)]] :'''Arguments''': [[Wikipedia_talk:Pronunciation (simple guide to markup, American)]] The page you are reading is where we vote and debate policy. Those who wish to discuss the technical details or assist with development of the Simple Guide itself should go to ''this'' [[Wikipedia_talk:Pronunciation (simple guide to markup, American) | talk page]].
