IPA pronunciation

I found a source on Celtic pronunciation and Drow (a conlang) pronunciation.
However, they are both given as approximation of English, and not IPA.

I tried redoing Drow pronunciation (from http://www.elftown.com/_Drowic%20Classroom) to be written in IPA and got this:

Sidhe is the old spelling, from before the orthography spring clean of 1945-57. The modern spelling is Sí, which should give you a better idea of the pronunciation.

Hahah. Nice icon. Although I'm tempted to rephrase it as "Keep going / sure / it could be worse".

Specifically for sídhe, here's another Wiki-IPA: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sidhe
My Irish has never been great -- thank goodness I never wanted to teach primary school! -- but it seems pretty accurate to me as a general pronunciation.

Don't trust the pronunciations listed on that "Celtic names" site you linked to; they're all over the map. Some are correct, but most are misleading in one or more ways and some are flat-out wrong. You're better off looking up individual names in Wikipedia.

And apparently one of them is Old Irish!
