In English, something like [wikɪˈpi:diə], as far as I can tell. (Ignoring aspiration etc.) The final vowels are on the verge of being a diphthong, but I think they're separate at least when speaking slowly. I'm pretty sure the second <i> is neither a full nor a schwa.

In Swedish, I keep the foreign sound [w], which would definitely have become [v] if it had been properly adapted to Swedish phonology. (I think my girlfriend says [v-].) The vowels are not reduced as much, and the <e> is an /e/, so I think it's more like [wiki'pedia]. Still a tendency to diphthong at the end.

A friend of mine says [wai-]. I don't know why, no pun intended.

Come to think of it, doesn't anyone say /-peid-/? Would that be completely weird?

No, and yes.

[wɪkɪˈpʰi:diə]

To those who are transcribing both the /k/ and the /p/ as aspirated: are you sure? I don't think /k/ and /p/ are aspirated IMD between a strong vowel and a weak one.

No, and yes.

Latin-derived ae is generally pronounced in English.

[Chuma]

Huh. Lucky I don't say that then, I guess.

That from everything I have gathered is rather dialect and even register-specific. E.g. in my everyday speech I lenite them in that context so as probably be best described as [ɡ̊] and [b̥], but in higher registers I am less apt to do that, and I have heard other people who have even "stronger" realizations in that context.

change the middle b to p then

I'll give you a hint: /ʍ/

Yes, I have the same lentition as Travis.

You take it a step further and actually voice your /k/ there? Heh. (While I do sometimes make it so that /g/ and /k/, or /b/ and /p/, are indistinguishable in these positions aside from vowel length, it is always in favor of merging to voiceless lenis realizations rather than to voiced ones.)

"wicky peedia"

anyone's confusion about this explanation is pretend.
