 PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
While many of the old British names may look odd to modern readers,
they are not as difficult to pronounce as they seem at first glance. A little
effort, and the following guide, will help you enjoy the sound of these
ancient words.
Consonants — as in English, but with a few exceptions:
c: hard, as in cat (never soft as in century)
ch: hard, as in Scottish Loch, or Bach (never soft, as in church)
dd: th as in then (never as in thistle)
f: v, as in of
ff: f, as in off
g: hard, as in girl (never gem)
ll: a Welsh distinctive, sounded as 'tl' or 'hi' on the sides of the tongue
r: trilled, lightly
rh: as if hr, heavy on the 'h' sound
s: always as in sir (never his)
th: as in thistle (never then)
Vowels — as in English, but with the general lightness of short vowel
sounds:
a: as in father
