Syllables are separated by =.
Accented syllables are underlined.
Raised letters (e.g., ay^oo, yah) should be pronounced only fleetingly.
Spanish vowels (not diphthongs) are pure and fairly short. Try to read a
letter combination like oa without moving your tongue or lips while
pronouncing the sound.
Consonants
bh a rather indecisive b (i.e., one verging on v).
dh like th in this, often rather indecisive, possibly quite like
d.
g always hard, as in go.
g a g-sound where the tongue doesn't quite close the air
passage between itself and the roof of the mouth, so the
escaping air produces audible friction; also occasionally
pronounced as an indecisive g.
kh like g, but based on a k-sound; therefore, hard and
voiceless, like ch in Scottish loch.
i^y like lli in million.
n as in the Spanish senor, or like ni in onion.
r slightly rolled in the front of the mouth.
rr strongly rolled r.
s always hard, as in so.
