BrainKing - Tartışma Komiteleri (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

Konu: Re:

Walter Montego: Oh come on! You're making me put aside all I already know. You mean the word 'butter' is pronounced with a clear /t/ sound as is 'tremendous' or 'ture'?

How about mutter? matter?

I'm sure I've heard 'better' pronounced with a /d/ sound many many times. Well, if it's not a /d/ sound, at least it's not a clear /t/ sound either.

Let's call that sound X. Is there any rule to change a clear /t/ to /x/?

Can it be done in a word like 'article' or 'utilization'?
