pronunciations of words not found in a standard English
dictionary .
The notation ,
and many of the pronunciations ,
were adapted from the Hacker '
s {
Jargon File }.
Syllables are separated by {
dash }
or followed {
single quote }
or {
back quote }.
Single quote means the preceding syllable is
stressed (
louder ),
back quote follows a syllable with
intermediate stress (
slightly louder ),
otherwise all syllables
are equally stressed .
Consonants are pronounced as in English but note :
ch soft ,
as in "
church "
g hard ,
as in "
got "
gh aspirated g h of "
bughouse "
or "
ragheap "
j voiced ,
as in "
judge "
kh guttural of "
loch "
or "
l '
chaim "
s unvoiced ,
as in "
pass "
zh as "
s "
in "
pleasure "
Uppercase letters are pronounced as their English letter
names ;
thus (
for example ) /
H -
L -
L /
is equivalent to /
aych el
el /. /
Z /
is pronounced /
zee /
in the US and /
zed /
in the UK
(
elsewhere ?).
Vowels are represented as follows :
a back ,
that
ah father ,
palm (
see note )
ar far ,
mark
aw flaw ,
caught
ay bake ,
rain
e less ,
men
ee easy ,
ski

uh but ,

r fur ,

only in stressed
syllables ;
otherwise use just "

y yet ,

yoo few ,

[

oo /
oo /
with optional fronting as

news ' (/
nooz /
or /
nyooz /)
A /*/
is used for the `
schwa '
sound of unstressed or occluded
vowels (
often written with an upside -
down `
e ').
The schwa
vowel is omitted in unstressed syllables containing vocalic l ,
m ,
n or r ;
that is , "
kitten "
and "
colour "
would be rendered
/
kit '
n /
and /
kuhl '
r /,
not /
kit '*
n /
and /
kuhl '*
r /.
The above table reflects mainly distinctions found in standard
American English (
that is ,
the neutral dialect spoken by TV
network announcers and typical of educated speech in the Upper
Midwest ,
Chicago ,
Minneapolis /
St .
Paul and Philadelphia ).
However ,
we separate /
o /
from /
ah /,
which tend to merge in
standard American .
This may help readers accustomed to
accents resembling British Received Pronunciation .
Entries with a pronunciation of `//'
are written -
only .
