THE PRO]SrU]SCIATIOÍí^ OF SPAÍíISH. 



The Spanish language has but one accent, called acento agudo ^ which 

 is placed over the vowels «, e, ¿, <?, u; it serves to lengthen the sylla- 

 ble and to accentuate it more distinctly and forcibly than the other 

 vowels. 



As a general rule, all Spanish words ending in a vowel are accent- 

 uated on the penultimate, or the last syllable but one; they do not, 

 therefore, require the accent, but if any other s^yllable is to be accented 

 it is indicated. 



With the exception of proper names and adverbs, most words end- 

 ing in a consonant have the accent on the last syllable. 



The Spanish a always has the sound of the English a in father; the 

 e that of ay in English; the i that of ee; the o that of oh; and the il 

 that of (9(9, as in hoot^ root^ etc. 



The vowels in Spanish must always be fully and distinctly pro- 

 nounced, but the u is silent in the S3^11ables gue^ gui, que, qui, which 

 are pronounced gay, gee, hay, hee. 



The Spanish y has a sound nearl}^ equivalent to the English j; the 

 z exactly that of English th, as also the Spanish c when it comes 

 before e or i. All the other consonants are sounded as in English 

 except U, which is prononced as ly in English. 



In the English interpretation of the sound of the Spanish words 

 the th has always the lisping sound of these letters in thin, path, etc. 



The main difficulty in pronouncing Spanish is the j? (hoetah), which 

 has the sound of h very strongly aspirated.
