Pronunciation

English pronunciation varies considerably across the English speaking world. WordWeb only provides a rough guide, concentrating on the “standard” American and RP (BBC English) varieties that are widely comprehended. The correct local pronunciation will depend on where you are. In particular the vowel sounds vary very widely; words that rhyme in one locale may not in another (though in many cases vowel sounds change in a consistent pattern).

Hold the mouse cursor over the pronunciation to display a larger breakdown into the following sounds:

b but a cat, anger u ado, about d door ã cast, grass* ú up, brotherf fall aa arm, calm û book, putg good aw out, nowh happy e bet, egg

j jug eh air, weark cut ee sleep, eachl list ey day, rainm moon eu coiffeurn near i tip, inchp part I eye, fry ch richr rest** o organ, law sh shuts soft ó cot, orange* th themet turn oo too, food dh thev village ow toad, own zh confusionw wet ów cold, whole ng singy yet oy boy, boil xh Bachz zoom

* These vowel sounds move around considerably with location. In the US ó often sounds similar to aa or sometimes o. In the south UK ã is the same as aa, but in the US and north UK usually the sound is like a (the actual sound of a is also different).** In British “RP” r is generally only sounded if before a vowel; ur is sometimes as in fir.

Primary stresses are marked with ‘, secondary stresses with `. The stress can vary depending on part of speech and in some cases the sense.

Sounds that are sometimes present are enclosed in brackets.

Examples:

other ' údhu(r) quirky 'kwurkeeoverlook [n] 'owvur`lûk coast kowstoverlook [v] `owvur'lûk deny di'nI

There are some broad rules on whether optional sounds are voiced or not. The (y) sound is almost always present in British English (and many other varieties), but often absent in US English; so news is pronounced n(y)ooz - which is nooz in the US and nyooz in the UK Optional (r) sounds are usually present at some level in US English, but not sounded in British English. So other sounds like údhu in the UK but like údhur in the US.
