Talk:sine qua non

Pronunciation

/ˈsi.neɪ kwa ˈnon/ feels wrong, can't be the Latin one.

/si.ne kwa nɔn/ can be found from French wiktionary, and it's definitely closer. Anyone proficient in Latin?

This word isn't listed as Latin, it's listed as English. PS still looks wrong. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I have removed these pronunciations from the entry pending verification:

• IPA^(key): /ˌsɪneɪ kwɑː ˈnoʊn/
• IPA^(key): /ˌsaɪnɨ kweɪ ˈnɒn/
