It would be great if one could read the pronunciation of each geoname, either in an English approximation or in an exact IPA transcription (International Phonetic Alphabet, http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipachart.html).

BTW, does any one know whether a comprehensive version of such a list of placenames is available from somewhere?

This would really be interesting, we would love to add it.

Please let us know when you find a comprehensive (or not so comprehensive) list of phonetically transcribed place names.
