Pronunciation Guide

All non-English languages are presented with a shared set of English letters, characters, and marks for a
common standard in pronunciation. There are no silent letters; all letters are pronounced. All vowels are
generally in the English "short" manner, though exceptions not noted do exist. At first, lan-guages may
appear similar in print. The table below explains the more basic rules of pronunciation, and by sound and
syntax, you will note the differing flavor of individual languages.


Grave Accent:An English standard "short" vowel, but its voiced duration is short, as well. It is little more
than a way to shape the transition between surrounding letters. Example: i =i (nearly unvoiced) as inbit.

Acute Accent:An English standard "short" vowel in most cases, but the voiced duration is elongated.
Example: a =a inban (slightly longer).

Umlaut: An English standard "short" vowel of standard duration, but with the back of the throat open,
producing a wider or deeper sound. Example: ai =a infather.

Circumflex:An English "long" vowel of standard duration most often followed by a shorti as a diphthong.
Example: a =ai inrain.

Apostrophe:' Indicates a brief pause in voiced pronunciation, similar to a brief catch of air or voicing
before continuing. Sometimes used to clarify syllabic separation in complex words.

Hyphen:- As for English, it occurs in compound words or for the use of a specialized prefix or suffix, as
well as showing correct syllabic separation when the hyphenated term is pronounced as one word.

hk: In the Suman language (Sumanese), pronounced as represented in a "breathy" manner. In Belaskian,
it is more quick and sharp. In Elvish, it is thech in the Gaelic wordloch. However, the sounds are similar,
and any will do for basic reading.
