BrainKing - Diskussionsborde (Languages)

Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Emne: a/e/i/y

there is a funny thing with the vowels when we compare dutch with english

in english the A is pronounced as the dutch E
in english the E is pronounced as the dutch I
in english the I is pronounced as the dutch IJ

would the phonetics of those different vowels be the same ?
