No, is the slight inconsistency to hard for hues to follow?
Why do you pronounce thorough as 'thu-row'?
Nigger, english pronunciation is so fucked up it is documented.
en.wikipedia.org
Slight inconsistency is the use of "s" "ss" "ç" and "c" in Portuguese. English in the other hand is totally retarded.
The only true phonetic ortophone language is japanese
its a hieroglyphic language
why do you ignore "R"s?
why do you pronounce "Argentina" as "Argentiner"
a and er are 2 completely different sounds.
It's fun-etic
haha thanks guys
Tough

Though

Don't know
We pronounce it as Argentinuh
none of those is correct except for maybe tuff

you do that with everything though.
everything that ends in "a" you pronounces as "er", it sounds so wrong.
Eat shit.
Tough thought, though.
vocaroo yourself
I pronounce it foh-netic though.
It's kew not quee which is like "kaee"
nah I can't do it, I roll the r.
you know what I mean though, right?
during the rugby world cup I remember casters saying "tonger" instead of "tonga", really annoying
ton-gah would sound stupid though
>Sh instead of Ş
>ch instead of Ç
>a fuckin letter in words that are not pronounced
>phonetic
but it's tonga, what the fuCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT
whatevs
no, I demand an explanation.
if it's written tonga, why do you pronounce it "tonger", I don't get it.
they're 2 very different sounds.
Yoo rather wee wriet liek this?
>English isn't phonetic
Phucked language lol
No idea, ton-ga sounds unnatural to me.
Brits just don't open their mouth wide enough to make the ah sound so it comes out sounding like uh.

Spanish do it better than everyone Tbh
Can tell someone is an American without hearing them just by how wide they open their mouths when talking desu
>faiör

...
your black people do the same except backwards.
nigger becomes nigga and such.
I never minded that though because it's supposed to be something that uneducated low scum people do.
are brits reverse niggers?
I know what you mean as it sounds bizarre to American ears too. India becomes Indiar, Tonga is Tongar, etc.
No, Italian is perfect. Spanish lacks half the phonemes of the other romance languages.
>are brits reverse niggers?
Yes, they are handsdown the best race in the world and I truly believe they are the descendant of God or were at least touched by God's hands or something, NOT the Jews.
yeah but it's 100% phonetic.
it doesn't matter if it's a word that you don't know, so long as it's the spanish pronounciation and not a castilian adaptation of a foreign word, you're going to say it right when you read it, always.
English speaker here. I can read (aloud) Spanish just as fast as I can read English, because of this (even though I still need a dictionary occasionally to look up meanings).
>you're going to say it right when you read it, always
Portuguese could be that way too if we didn't have the open "e" and "o".
>it doesn't matter if it's a word that you don't know, so long as it's the spanish pronounciation and not a castilian adaptation of a foreign word, you're going to say it right when you read it, always.

read (present tense)
>"reed"
read (past tense)
>"red"
the -ed at the end of words always triggered me.
this sound something like "t" or "d" and not "aid" or "id" like it's used to be if this retarded language was phonetic.
>-ed at the end of words
It's a trick for every french.
But, to be fair, our language is surely a nightmare to pronounce.
>"aid" or "id"
wat
The letter "a" is pronounced differently in each of these words:
>fall
>fat
>father
>fairy
- searched
>search't instead of searchaid
- baked
>bak't instead of bakaid
- kicked
>kick't instead of Kickaid
you see? it's a fucking cancer.
but strangely some words like "grounded" sound with the "aid" at the end.... it's fucking awful.
why the fuck would they sound like "aid", what are you on about?
that doesn't make any sense.
unless you're trying to explain phonetically in french, which would be retarded because nobody would know the sound you're referring to.
>French
>complaining about pronunciation
je suis lol
Bueno maricon, en espanol se diria algo como "éd" pero pronunciando el "e" y el "d" y no remplazando eso por un puto "t"
>Gothi=Fish.jpg
exactly what I thought.
to be fair "t" is just a stronger "d".
and sometimes it is actually pronounced "ed" and not "t"
>but strangely some words like "grounded" sound with the "aid" at the end.... it's fucking awful.
That's because "ground" finishes with a d. If the initial word finishes with t or d, it is pronounced like that.
Here's a tip: pronounce the final letter of the initial word, if you can feel that your vocal cords move when you extend the sound of the letter, then, the word is pronounced with a final "d".
Example: learned --> n moves your vocal folds move --> learn'd
If they don't move, pronounce the word with a t
kick-> kicked -- > kikt
It's very easy.
makes your vocal folds move
Yeah, fuck english. Go Spanish.

You have no idea how english pronunciation is broken...
youtube.com
There's even a gigantic poem about it, from 1922.
English speakers will defend this
I have no problems whatsoever with pronouncing those words.
except for like 10 that I didn't know.
I would vocaroo but it's too long
My mind was blown when I learned the trick of -ed verbs pronunciation
>queue
More like just Q
>Haunt but aunt
Any one that says ant should kill themselves, enter poem is ruined

Yet to see a native speaker recite it correctly.
It's [t] after an unvoiced consonant except t, [d] after a voiced consonant except d and [id] after t and d. I learned it in school when I was eight, the fuck's wrong with French education?
Don't even get me started...
Aldeburgh – (Pronounced ALL-BR'A /ˈɔːlbrə/)
Alverdiscott – (Pronounced OLSS-KOT or ALLS-KOT /ɒlskɒt/ or /ɔːlskɒt/)
Barnoldswick – (Pronounced locally as BAR-LIK /ˈbɑrlJk/)
Beaudesert – (Pronounced BELZA /ˈbɛlzər/)
Belvoir – (Pronounced BEAVER /ˈbiːvər/)
Burgh by Sands – (Pronounced BRUFF /ˈbrʌf/)
Happisburgh – (Pronounced HAZEBR'A /ˈheJzbrə/)
Haverholme – (Pronounced AVREM /ævrəm/)
Staithes – (Pronounced STEERZ /ˈstJərz/)
Why even bother with an alphabet?
>queue

dont forget Reading (city)
you forgot : Leicester pronounced Lay-s(ç)ter instead of Lay-(s)ches-ter or Lay-s(ç)es-ter
It isn't, and I fucking hate it.

Anyone who can speak two languages is no longer Anglo.
A = E
E = I
I = Y
Y = Why
Wesley is spelled as DoubleUISLIWhy
Reminder that in Italian, a so-called phonetic language,
>O is pronounced "oh"
>gnocchi is pronounced nyawkee
I don't want to hear anyone tell me that Italian is phonetic while this shit goes on
