Perhaps we should find a more accurate way to describe pronunciation, like IPA. IPA is rather hard for the layman to understand, though, isn't it? (And by "layman" I mean me.  ) |

IPA? Is that the really weird thing full of indecipherable characters that don't make sense? No sense at all!!!! I've tried to learn it a few times and it is completely and utterly incomprehensible... I'm absolutely amazed at people who can somehow understand it. |

We learned it in my voice and diction class, it can be a lifesaver when you need to do an accent for a script. I found it pretty easy to understand, actually! |

I cannot understand or see how kəmˈrɑːɨɡ is the same as Cymraeg. It just doesn't make sense! Then again my brain doesn't work properly so it's probably me just being stupid. |

I imagine it's a bit easier in English than...Welsh, is that? XD |

Welsh is easier to pronounce than English though... In Welsh there's no silent letters or any of the other crazy things English has. It does have mutations though which are a pain when writing but they make speaking it easier... (Example: Dw i'n byw ym Mangor is easier to say than dw i'm byw yn Bangor ) |

I once looked up the Welsh names for Hogwarts houses and thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head. It's really pretty spoken though! Just...insane to write! |

You just have to look at the elvish phonology. I found a really good Website about this matter: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/quenya.htm At this site is no Information how you pronounce dh. But I remember to read that you pronounce it like the dh in then. I hope that was helpful. Ruscowen |
