I feel as surprised as I did to learn that people say epoch as 'eh-pek.' Not that I ever use the word pathos.

>> No.2018904

>>2018900
epoch is aye-poch right? with poch having the guttural g sound, sounding somewhat like poh

IPA, you guys, use it, otherwise you won't agree on matters of pronounciation EVER

>> No.2019016

>>2018965
IPA says otherwise, though I have to agree that I'd rather say it the Greek way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English

While on the subject of IPA, apparently about half the vowels in modern Greek are pronounced [i], as in 'seem', even οι and υι. Also, the omega and omikron have become the same.

Non-english here, is there a rule to help with the pronunciation of words you don't know?

Example: ð (father) vs θ (thigh), or æ (latter) vs eɪ (later) – although in this case I know the single/double 't' is what's making the difference, but I can't think of a better example. I think that's the two things I've always difficulties knowing which one is correct, but apart from looking it up in a dictionary…

Pronunciation of English words is incredibly inconsistent. It's why that Pitman guy who invented Pitman's shorthand made a phonetic "Initial Teaching Alphabet" where you can tell exactly how something's pronounced from how it's spelt.

>> No.2019133

>>2019102
Interesting, but alas it does not help when reading a book. Anyway, I'll stick with my dictionary.
