Phonetic translation of a phrase

[UrsusHorribilis]

I want to learn to pronounce Klingon, I've been looking at some of the Klingon Language Instute material for pronunciation & am having trouble.

If I could get he phonetic's for the below phrase I plan to use it for 2 purposes, one as a voicemail greeting & two as a springboard to (hopefully) help me parse out other words/phrases.

jIH 'oH John puq vo' Micheal nuqneH?

Thanks

jIH 'oH John puq vo' Micheal nuqneH?

What did you intend this to mean?

(OK, maybe I scared him off. )

If you wanted to say "I am John, son of Michael.  What do you want?", that would actually be John, Michael puqlod, jIH. nuqneH? "John, Michael's son, I am. What do you want?"  This actually is phonetic spelling! Just remember to pronounce the H like the "ch" in "Bach", and the rest is pronouced just as written (the q is very close to a regular "k"). puqloD (POOk-lod) is accented on the first syllable, and nuqneH (nook-NEKH) on the last.

Thanks, I didn't realize it was phonetic already...  I had to make a strategic withdrawal due to a close encounter of the boss kind

Kudos for correctly using nuqneH!  Although it is the Klingon "greeting", it doesn't mean "Hello", but literally "want do you want?"  So, when one person approaches another, the approachee doesn't say nuqneH, but the one who is approached.

Wrong:
Approaching warrior: nuqneH!
The warrior he is approaching: "For you to go away."

Right:
Approaching warrior: (silence)
The warrior he is approaching: nuqneH (i.e., "Tell me why you're invading my space or I'll kill you where you stand.")
