BrainKing - Diskutaj forumoj (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

Temo: Re:

gogul: Yes. ^ represents the sound short a as in BUS or CUP.

Using phonetic symbols gives people the ability to distinguish sounds from eachother. For example in a word such as examplification there are to letters represented by 'a' symbol in alphabetical letters. But do they both sound the same? No.

If you write that word in phonetical alphabet, it's easily shown that the two A's are not the same in pronunciation.
