The page is clearly there on the website: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%B8%89%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%94. I'm trying to scrape the pronunciations.

[Surkal]

The language is english by default.

parser.fetch('ฉลาด', language='thai')

[Nathan Glenn]

Ah, that gets it. The info returned is not quite right, though:

[

        'etymology': 'From Khmer ឆ្លាត (chlaat, “clever”). Compare Lao ສະຫລາດ (sa lāt).\n', 'definitions': [

                'relatedWords': [],

            }
        ], 
        'pronunciations': {

            'audio': []
        }
    }
]

The etymology is in the pronunciation text, and the pronunciation is missing altogether.

[Suyash]

Yeah well, the format of the pronunciations is different from most of the other words. I'm still working on it
