The article analyzes the phonetic (pronunciation-related) inquiries concerning the pronunciation of proper names, loan words and abbreviations, delivered by e-mail to the language consulting centre of the Institute of the Czech Language during the years 1999-2010. It focuses on phenomena that are not handled consistently in Czech orthoepy manuals, or for which the recommended pronunciation differs from the pronunciation usage/norm. The available manuals and the situation of the orthoepy research in the Czech context are also commented upon in general.
