Etymology looks incorrect to me; at the very least, there would be an intermediate Latin etymon. † ﴾^(u):Raifʻhār ^(t):Doremítzwr﴿ 19:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I added Latin, and there's more at etymonline.[1] —Michael Z. 2008-10-23 20:56 z

English pronunciation

I'm not American, but I'd suggest for the pronunciation to have the "ɪ" changed for an "iː". I'll add that as the UK pronunciation, anyway. N4m3 (talk) 22:33, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I would understand an i maybe, but I'm sure it is not normally an iː. The 'e' in museum is normally the the same length as the last vowel and shorter than the first. I'm going to revert this to an ɪ for now, in line with the Oxford Dictionary of English.TywysogMelyn (talk) 09:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Swedish pronunciation

I removed the pronunciation file Sv-museem.ogg because it apparently ends in /r/ while the IPA on the page has final /m/. I'm not sure where the sound files come from, so if anyone can get the correct file it should be added back as a bullet point like so: * {{audio|Sv-museum.ogg|Audio|lang=sv}}.
