Request for pronunciation

Dear Schwa dk! I would like to ask you to add the Danish IPA pronunciation to the name of Karl Albert Hasselbalch who is widely know for the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation, however, his name is often miswritten as Hasselbach (without "l") and pronounced like the German word/surname Bach. I have little idea of the correct pronunciation, Danish phonology gives little info on the "ch" phoneme, it says it occurs in foreign words. There's an authentic pronunciation here, but I don't know how reliable this site is. Hope you can help. Cheers, Timur lenk (talk) 21:44, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also if you could help with Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted. Thank you, Timur lenk (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you could also help with Johan Kjeldahl. Timur lenk (talk) 23:52, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the requests. I've added transcriptions of the names. The Forvo example is very reliable and it corresponds largely to the transcription I've given. There is also an actual pronunciation of Brønsted on Forvo: http://forvo.com/word/johannes_nicolaus_br%C3%B8nsted. --Schwa dk (talk) 10:16, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thank you! Can you help with the phonetics of other Nordic languages? Timur lenk (talk) 00:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I can't do that with a sufficient degree of certainty. --Schwa dk (talk) 09:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
