Pronunciation respelling guide for this website
While this website is written in the real-life English language, words from fictional languages, most notably the Neo-Proto-Lahyrntian language, that are created by the creator of this website, as well as words and phrases derived from words in such fictional languages, will appear from time to time on this website. When this happens, a pronunciation respelling key will be provided, although not more than once per word per page, to aid readers of this website in approximating the pronunciation of words in a language created by the creator of this website.
Here are the rules for the pronunciation respelling guide for this website:
The full name of the creator of this website, Aaron Apollo Camp, is pronounced AIR-un UH-PAW-loh KAMP, although AIR-·n UH-PAW-loh KAMP is also an acceptable pronunciation of the name of the creator of this website.
Here are the rules for the pronunciation respelling guide for this website:
- The basis of the pronunciation respelling guide is this English-language pronunciation respelling key for Wikipedia, although there are differences between the pronunciation respelling guide used on here and the Wikipedia pronunciation respelling key.
- Fictional languages created by the creator of this website may use phonetic sounds that are not used in the real-life English language; when this happens, the closest-sounding English-language phonetic sound to the phonetic sound in the fictional language is used for pronunciation respelling purposes.
- Except on this page, respelling guides are noted by usage of "English pronunciation:", followed by the respelling guide in italics, all within a set of parentheses.
- The schwa, or mid central unrounded vowel (such as the "a" in "about" or "ai" in "mountain"), is denoted using an interpunct. For example, the repelling guide for "mountain" would be MOWN-t·n.
- The glottal stop is denoted using an apostrophe, and syllabic consonants are noted using a set of parenthesis around the syllabic consonant. For example, the respelling guide for the t-glottalized pronunciation of "button" would be BUH-'(n).
- The "gh" denotation is never used in the pronunciation respelling guide on this website, as, for pronunciation respelling purposes, "g" is universally used to denote the voiced velar plosive, or hard-g, sound, and, for pronunciation respelling purposes, "j" is universally used to denote the voiced postalveolar affricate, or soft-g, sound. For example, "guitar" would be respelled gih-TAR, "jelly" would be respelled JEH-lee, and "religion" would be respelled r·-LIH-j(n).
- For pronunciation respelling purposes, "ss" is used when the voiceless alveolar sibilant fricative, or s-sound, consonant is the final phonetic sound in a word, otherwise, "s" is used to respell instances of the s-sound occurring; for example, "ice" would be respelled EYESS, but "icebox" would be respelled EYES-bahks.
The full name of the creator of this website, Aaron Apollo Camp, is pronounced AIR-un UH-PAW-loh KAMP, although AIR-·n UH-PAW-loh KAMP is also an acceptable pronunciation of the name of the creator of this website.
