Organize [pronunciation] tag?

Question

I'm thinking of making some kind of improvement of pronunciation tag.

Say, we have an English Learner who is a native speaker of a certain language.
He/she has phonetic habits likewise the other speakers of the same language.
He typically make the same mistakes or has typical problems, for example:

• Portuguese: Reproducing vowel sounds, as in pan/pen
• Italian: Reproducing /h/
• Speakers of Slavic languages: reproducing vowels as in this/is or the/there
• Japanese: distinction between /r/ and /l/

...and so on.

My question is, should we make a set of specific tags like "pronunciation-italian" to help users quickly find questions they need?
Other ideas would be also helpful.

Answer 1

Creating tags like pronunciation-italian would mean to artificially create a distinction between questions. A question about pronunciation asked by a native speaker of Italian could be interesting also for native speakers of other languages. For example, as far as I know, also in Spanish the h is always silent, contrary to English where the h is pronounced in house, but not in hour.

Knowing which language users natively speak can be useful to make them understand the pronunciation of the word (e.g. the h in house is probably pronounced like Spanish people pronounce the j in Alejandro), but that information doesn't deserve its own tag, or be added to a tag used for the question.
