GENERAL RULES EOR THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE. 



m 

 m 



1. A has the same sound as in the English word mar— example: Carmona , kar-mo-na. 



2. IS has a sound like a in male— ex. : Almep.ia, al-ma-ree-a. 

 lis like e in mete — ex.: Lerin, la-teen. 

 O is the same as in English. 



XT has the same sound as oo—ex.: Tntui^Lo, trco-heel-yo. 



Yia like the Spanish i— ex. : Talavera de la Keyna, ta-la-va-ra, da la ra-ee-na. 

 Ai and ay are like i in mine— ex.: Jaraiz, ha-nthe; Maykena, trA-ra-na. 

 Au is like ou in our or ow in hoiu—ex. : Cacjdete, kow-da-ta. 

 Ei and ey are pronounced like a-e— ex.: Calaceite, ka-la-tka-c-ta; Aroanda del Ret, 



ar-gan-da del ra-e. 



The consonants/, I (single), m, n, p, s, t and v are pronounced nearly the same as in English. 



B beginning a word has the same sound as in English; but when between two vowels it 

 has a sound intermediate between b and w, closely resembling t\ but with the difference 

 that v is pronounced with the upper teeth in contact with the under lip, while the sound 

 of the Spanish b is produced by bringing the lips loosely into contact. 



C preceding a, o and u is the same as in English: preceding e and i, it is like th in thin- 

 ex.: Albacete, al-ba-tha-ta; Torrecilla, tor-ra-theel-ya. 



Ch is pronounced as in English, except in the dialect of Catalonia where it is pronounced 

 like k. 



D beginning a word has nearly the same sound as in English, but is pronounced with the tip 

 oi the tongue against the upper teeth, while in uttering the English d the tongue comes 

 in contact with the roof of the mouth. At the end of a syllable or standing between two 

 Towels, it has a sound like th in this, but somewhat softer— ex.: Agreda, ag-ra-tha. 



G preceding a, o and v, is hard as in English; preceding e and i it has a strong guttural 

 sound resembling the German ch in ach—ex.: Jgea, e-ha-a; Orgiva, or-hee-va. 



Gua and guo sound somewhat like gwa, gwo, the g, however, being so soft that it is hardly 

 perceived, and in these cases the sound of qu approximates very nearlv to that of I he 

 -iiiglish w. Gu preceding e and jis usually like </ hard, but it sometimes has the same 

 sound as when preceding a and o, and consequently is pronounced giue or we— ex. : San 

 Migwel, sanme-ghel. 



H~M ^ Spanish is never pronounced except in words commencing with hue, and then very 



■/before all vowels is pronounced like a strong guttural h, resembling the German c/iin 

 aeh — ex.: Jabama, ha-ra-ma. In the present mode of spelling,,/ is generally used in- 

 stead of x as found in the old spelling. 



LI unites the sounds of I and y (consonant) ; it ia similar to the liquid I in French— ex. : 

 Cantillana, kan-teel-ya-na. 



20. $t in a manner similar to preceding unites the sounds of n and y— ex.: Peniscola, pen- 



yees-ko-la. 



21. Q is always followed by u. Qu preceding a and o is the same as in English, hence it is 



equivalent to kw; preceding e and i it is usually pronounced like k, but sometimes has 

 the sound of kw— er. : Boquet as, ro-ka-ias; Quintanar, ketn-la-nar. 



22. It is similar to the English, but is trilled more strongly than in English or French. 

 28. T is pronounced by placing the tip of the tongue against t he upper teeth. 



2i. Xhas usually the sound of the Spanish j, and in accordance with the present mode of 

 spelling, that letter is generally substituted for it; thus instead of the old spelling Xerte 

 we now find Jerte. 

 25. Z has the same sound as th in thin— ex.: Zamora, tha-mo-ra. 



Note. — Words or names in the Spanish language ending in a consonant are almost invari- 

 ably accented on the last syllable; when ending in a vowel the accent usually falls on the last 

 syllable but one. 



The Spanish language as spoken in Mexico and South America differs materially from (he 

 true Spanish. Thus z (and c preceding e and i) instead of being pronounced like th have the 

 sound of s. Among the uneducated classes 11 is universally pronounced like y; thus Mello is 

 pronounced ma-yo.
