In the Imitated Pronunciation a very
fair approximation to the German
sounds can be given by pronouncing the
syllables just as if each formed part of
an English word.
Note the following peculiarities:—In
the imitated pronunciation pronounce u
as in the English word hut (hat modified);
ö as the i in the English word bird;ias
in the English wcrd mine;ü like the
French u (ee pronounced with rounded
lips);ow as in the English word how;
g always hard as in garden.
The sound of ch cannot be clearly
defined;after a,o,u,and au,it has a
guttural sound,and resembles the Scotch
ch in Loch;after e,i,ei,ä,ö,äu,eu,ü,
and the consonants,it is a soft“palatal
aspirate." | | --- | Cow/kg 60. 2.(1)2fe Dff(f)li 的星的oDm2k0 C/”利Rk(k)Ll(l)gg(g)ff(h)/④是件4,及。agandtheAIFANhubrhorn p 2min iinynn/ irtrfhn CONTENTS. No.PAGE.No.PAGE.
