Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:02 am Greyhawk Common - Profound Pronounce

Greyhawk Common - Profound Pronounce is an idea I have been kicking about for a pronounceable guide to those many Tongue Twisters within the Realm. Of course one mans toe+moto is another's toe+mate+oh so this could even be regional. With this thread, we can accumulate and then compile into a usable download if / when of sufficient size.
For a based line reference and allowing for the NON existence various diacritics and grapheme in languages (ie umlaut, tilde,etc ) since I am not sure if all would see those with font restraints. I came up with this list.
\ah\ as a in abut
\uh\ as u in abut
\n\ as e in kitten
\r\ as ur/er in further
\a\ as a in ash
\ae\ as a in ace
\ao\ as o in mop
\owe\ as ou in out
\b\ as in baby
\ch\ as ch in chin
\d\ as d in did
\e\ as e in bet
\ee\ as ea in easy
\eey\ as y in easy
\er\ as e in hunger
\f\ as f in fifty
\g\ as g in go
\h\ as h in hat
\i\ as i in hit
\eye\ as i in ice
\j\ as j in job
\k\ as k in kin
\ich\ as ch in ich dien (see German)
\l\ as l in lily
\m\ as m in murmur
\n\ as n in own
\eng\ as ng in sing
\oh\ as o in go
\awe\ as aw in law
\oi\ as oy in boy
\p\ as p in pepper
\r\ as r in red
\s\ as s in less
\sh\ as sh in shy
\t\ as t in tie
\ths\ as th in thin
\th\ as th in the
\ou\ as oo in loot
\or\ as o in floor
\oo\ as oo in foot
\v\ as v in vivid
\w\ as w in away
\y\ as y in yet
\ouh\ as you in youth
\y\ as u in curable
\z\ as z in zone
\zh\ as si in vision
CAPITALS would define the Emphasis.

Here are some of my first offerings.
Iuz- \Eye\ou\z\
Lich- \L\i\Ch\ or \L\i\ich\ or in some parts \L\Eye\k\ has also been used
Minotaur- \M\i\n\Ah\t\or\
Tenser- \T\e\n\S\er\
Zagyg- \Z\Ah\g\i\g\ or if based on the entomology \Z\ah\g\Eye\g\
And I throw down the gauntlet to the Big C on the bilbibloopoop however its spelled hehehe Evil Grin

Hopefully, more of the Flanaess' great linguists, like Chevalier and Smillan_31, will chime in on this thread. Wink

Invoked for the first time! I will need to look over these to give a proper response - haven't worked with any sort of phonemes in 20 years. But this is really cool.

I know that some of my pronunciations deviate a bit according to personal preference...will chart these when I have a little time.
