This guy just beat Bubka's indoor WR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.78.251.108 ( talk) 17:19, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply

So which is it, ​[la.vi.lə.ni] or [la.vil.ni]? Those are very different pronunciations. I don't think we should be telling people how to pronounce his name if we have no idea. Kaldari ( talk) 21:06, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

It's [la.vil.ni] in French, but in France you will hear almost all journalists pronounce [la.vi.le.ni]... Withenemies ( talk) 21:56, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

I wonder if that's because they looked up our article to find out how to pronounce it :P Kaldari ( talk) 20:45, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply

They pronounce it [la.vi.le.ni] (as if it was an "é"), not [la.vi.lə.ni]. I don't think I ever heard [la.vi.lə.ni]. Correct french pronunciation :) Withenemies ( talk) 21:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
