I'm sure you're trying to help, but we need a non-IPA English approximation of the correct Italian rendition of "Ceserani". Grateful if you'd oblige. Tim riley talk 16:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- We don't. See MOS:RESPELL. Nardog (talk) 17:12, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- That's a pity. Makes it hard for our readers, but heigh ho! Tim riley talk 19:34, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- I fail to see how this is any better. English orthography largely represents etymology, not pronunciation, so seeing "Chezerani" and recognizing it's of Italian origin, one has no reason not to read the ch like chemical and the z like schizophrenia. Is "Chezerani" a respelling the source gives? If so we could write "rather than 'Chezerani' ([tʃezeˈraːni])". Otherwise, the ad hoc respelling doesn't belong in an article.

- Happy for you to improve, as long as we have a transcription for those of our readers who find IPA a problem. Tim riley talk 09:02, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- Again, not possible unless it is a respelling the source gives. Is it? Nardog (talk) 09:16, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
