I've offered to translate some words into Ukrainian for a new website and I wish to provide correct pronunciations of the words, but I rarely hear spoken Ukrainian and the information I've read about Ukrainian pronunciation is conflicting.
What I've been taught is that...
i always palatalizes d dz z l n r s t and c in the speech of most Ukrainians
palatalization is assimilated wherever possible (for example, dl'a = d'l'a)
but not across unpalatalized consonants (dvi does not = d'vi)
and voicing is not assimilated (-dk- is not pronounced as -tk-)

In accorance with those, this is what I've come up with. (I hope I'm smart enough to have gotten the spellings and accents right at least !)

(I can't post them here because the Ukrainian letters do not appear properly... that's why I uploaded it to my server space even though it's not finished.)
Thank you very much in advance !
