[edit]

The sound does not represent the correct English pronounciation of the word. It's pronounced "bɤɫgɛɹia" or something like that, not "bʌlˈɡɛəɹiə" as it should be. It should be replaced or removed. Kreuzkümmel (talk) 13:14, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The pronunciation you have given is not correct, as it uses phonemes not present in the American English dialect. Your suggested pronunciation is a UK-based pronunciation, not an American one. Please refer to a major English pronunciation dictionary, such as the one published by Cambridge, where the IPA for the American pronunciation is given as /bʌlˈgeriə/ (note: Cambridge uses /er/ to represent /ɛɹ/). This is the pronunciation that was recorded. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
