Why don't English speaking maps show foriegn countries labeled in phonetics? Wouldn't it be better if foriegn words were written in english phonetics, afterall they are going to use a different alphabet when they write it anyway?

I hear eer-auk on the BBC and eye-rack from American television. BBC says iz-lamb jointly as American television says iz-regulation-m. i do no longer rather think of there's a suitable or a incorrect. Is there a suitable or incorrect accessory?

well it depends on who's saying it. I say it eye-RACK
but there are people who say it other ways, and that's ok. Of course asking someone Iraqi might be an easier way of finding out the real way to say it.
i just want to add that war sux. Also you can't judge an entire country's population based on one idiot in that country just like you can't say Americans are awful people based on what our president does. Jusst keep that in mind for all of you people who hate Iraqis.

It depends on the person and where they are from.
Pronunciations are different, example in America with people with STRONG accents it could sound like EAR-RACK. In England, due to the accent, it would sound like EAR-ROCK OR EYE-ROCK.
In America average accents, it would sound like EYE-RACK.
It's different for different people from different places. So putting pronounciations wouldn't really help.

The correct pronunciation regardless where you are from is eye-rack. Take care

It's pronounce I - rak with the I pronounced as in 'in' . It's not eye or ear or rock. Iraquis sometime pronounce it Eerak. It's short for al-Irak

If I had to base it on theaccents of most Middle eastern peoples...I'd say it's "ear-ROCK". besides tha sounds a bit more sophisticated anyway.

You picked an easy one.
Try Qatar.

The correct pronunciation is "Ka-BOOOM"
Seriously though, going by the way vowels are pronounced by their speech, it should be "ear-rock"

I hear Ear-Rack a lot. But I think it should be pronounced "Ear-Rock".
