Some authors spell words based on how they sound, which gives readers the advantage of pronouncing the words as they read. Others prefer to use a resource such as a Pennsylvania Dutch dictionary. But each author has her or his own favorite references, and not all references use the same spellings.

Many Amish words are spelled differently depending on whether the person being spoken to is male or female, adult or child, or even whether the child being addressed is very young or older. So you can see why I rely on a skilled source for the sprinkling of Pennsylvania Dutch I include in my novels.

I'm not here to defend the episode, it was truly cringeworthy, and I agree that some of the pronunciation is atrocious, but as a Brit I can't understand what's so bad about the way we say "taco"! "Tack-o" to me sounds a lot more like the Mexican pronunciation of taco than the US American English "taaco". But I guess neither Brits nor Americans are pronouncing taco like a Mexican would! Can someone demonstrate with IPA what the differences are in the three(+) pronunciations?

Just an update. Still having problems, despite trying three or four alternate phonemic pronunciations. Used the alsamixer -c 1 command to boost the microphone input level, and observed the logs on my Rhasspy satellite/client using the Jabra 410 USB speaker/mic.

Is the same phenomenon, given above in the English example, observed in German as well? For example: While writing the sentence "...und ein Tisch war im Raum.", is it actually pronounced as "und" and "ein" linked each other and pronounced as a whole, like "un dein"? Or, unlike English, do you pronounce words as they're totally distinct from another, if we need to get back to the example, not as "un dein" but as "unt ein"?

One approach would be to build a list with two versions of each word. One the correct spelling, and the other being the word spelled using the simplest of phonetic spelling. Apply a distance function on the two words (like Levenshtein distance _distance). The greater the distance between the two words, the harder the word would be to pronounce.

Great problem! Off the top of my head you could create a system which contains all the letters from the phonetic alphabet and with connected weights betweens every combination based on difficulty (highly specific so may need multiple people testing and take averages etc) then have a list of all words from the English dictionary stored on disk and call a script which cycles through each entry and performs web scraping on wikipedia for the phonetic spelling and ranks their difficulty. This could take into consideration the length of the word as well as the difficulty between joining phonetics then order the list based on the difficulty.

the first relates to the mechanics of phone sound production as the velum, cheeks tongue have to be altered to produce various sounds related to individual phones i.e nasal etc. this makes some words more difficult to pronounce as the movement required may be a lot. Refer to books about phonetics to find positions of pronouncing each phone.

Because I speak more than one language myself (English and German), I find it brings the word study to life when I can hear the pronunciation in Hebrew and Greek. These datasets tools also offer pronunciations in Aramaic in menu option "Tools Pronunciations", dropdown for Aramaic. But you have to paste into the inline search that Aramaic word, in Aramaic, which is what I don't know.

How can I find the Aramaic word to put in the Pronunciation search box when searching for the Aramaic pronunciation of the word "Have". I want to hear the word as Jesus pronounced it in Aramaic, not just in Greek

Can't speak to aramaic pronunciation. But the quickest NT english > Aramaic seems to use New Strongs Guide to view the hebrew semantic range. Then, use the Strongs against DBL-Aramaic .... which is not terribly efficient.

Another time I came across someone teaching Japanese pronunciation by analogy to English, I thought all but one of his examples were wrong. But then I realized that he was Australian, and his vowel sounds are mangled (to my ears) in English too.

The Pronunciation Database contains sound files which the user can click to listen to words in the three major dialects, namely Connacht, Ulster and Munster. The words are articulated by native speakers from the relevant dialects.

If more than one written pronunciation is given for a word, they are all acceptable, but the first form given is the most common. Not all possible American pronunciations are shown in this dictionary. For example, some speakers only use the sound // when it is followed by /r/ (as in horse /hrs/) and use // in all other words that are shown with // in this dictionary, so that they pronounce both caught Ā and cot as /kt/.

/Ā  / shows the strong stress in a word or group of words. It is in front of the part (or syllable) that you say most strongly. For example, any /ni/ has a stress on the first syllable; depend /dpnd/ has a stress on the second syllable.

/Ā  / shows a weaker (or secondary) stress. Many longer words have a syllable that is pronounced with a secondary stress as well as a syllable with strong (or main) stress. So in the word pronunciation /prnnsien/, the main stress is on the syllable /e/, and the secondary stress is on the syllable /nn/.

American speakers use the sound / t /, which is like a quick /d/, in many words spelled with -t- or -tt-. It is used in words after a vowel or /r/, and before an unstressed vowel or syllablic /l/: city /st /; parting /prt /; little /ltl /.

Sometimes a word doesn't sound right. That can vary across voices. Something may sound fine when pronounced by Ivy but off if using the Justin voice. You can create and save pronunciations for customized vocabulary with the Edit Pronunciation feature. This will allow you to keep the correct spelling for the text when it appears in the speech display window while having the word pronounced correctly.

And this is the same for you, whatever form of English you speak, whether you speak with a British, American, or Australian accent, or with an Italian or Spanish accent, it really does not matter. As long as the people you are communicating with can understand you, and as long as you are consistent in your pronunciation of certain vowel sounds, that is the most important part.

I'm not sure if this question is completely on-topic since I think it's largely a cultural question rather than being strictly about German language, but I noticed a pronunciation tag so I thought it would be worth asking...

I spent the first 12 years of my life in Germany and then the next 15 in the US so I am lucky enough to speak both languages like a native speaker. However, whenever I'm in Germany, I always get tripped up when it comes to the pronunciation of Denglish words. For example, the English/Denglish word "Sorry" is often used in Germany and pronounced kind of like "soury" with a guttural R sound. I am unsure of whether I should pronounce it "correctly" (ie, as a more or less native speaker of English would) which I think makes people believe I'm a loud American who thinks he can just speak English to everyone or should I say it like a German would to fit in? I end up feeling awkward either way! Obviously I could simply use the Denglisch word's true German equivalent, but in some contexts, this can sound stilted.

I'm an Austrian physicist and I cringe every time I hear "Shwrodinger", "Ainsdine", "Goudel" and other names of people*. In German to English, eu, st, sch, , , , etc. get lost every time, but I've been adviced to do the same mispronunciations when talking with Americans, so they can follow you. Conversely, in both directions and in general, for social reasons, I'd just go as the Romans do.

I went to a German school in the U.S. so students would constantly flip flop between languages. I would say that in most cases people would revert to the pronunciation of whatever language they were currently speaking in. So for your example, if I was saying sorry in a German sentence, I would pronounce it like you described. I think in general the converse didn't occur as often but likewise, I would americanize the pronunciation of German words used in English sentences (e.g. pronouncing Kinder in Kinder Surprise as more of a drawled word that rhymes with the American tinder- please forgive me, I don't know what the correct phonetic spelling would be).

However, as mentioned in the comments by @NL7, this is primarily a cultural/social issue. Provided you aren't butchering the pronunciation, people will understand you. The issue then becomes how you want others to perceive you and that's something you will have to judge for yourself. Always use the correct pronunciation and some will find you pretentious. Always use the incorrect pronunciation and others may judge you as ignorant. There's a happy medium but it's highly situational in my experience.

I would not think much about the pronunciation of "sorry" in German. It is an English word and you can pronounce it in the way you are used to. The difference in pronunciation is minimal, when Germans pronounce the English word correctly. And most Germans speak English or have learnt it at school. If some German pronounces the word in a different way, he probably does not know English and then he should not use English words. ff782bc1db
