| Abstract | This pronunciation guide was created to aid the choral director by providing quick access to the pronunciation of several languages. Each pronunciation section includes a guide to consonants, consonant combinations, vowels, and vowel combinations commonly used in the language. Each chart is organized alphabetically as to how the letter is used in the specific language. For each letter or letter combination in the language, an example in English has been provided to aid in pronunciation. In cases where the sound does not exist in the English language, a short explanation of how to produce the sound is included. Additional information to aid the choral director in language-specific pronunciation rules, such as double consonants, liaison, accents, flipped and rolled r's, diphthongs, triphthongs, and suggestions for further study is included after each chart. |
