Most of these observations are necessary to complete but do not affect intelligibility.

The wick Schwa

If the syllable unstressed, it is usually safe to use a schwa. Most words beginning with A, as a separate syllable, including the word "yes, use a schwa suffixes and many regularly use a schwa, such as:-a,-ain,-ing,-ant,-ence,-ent,-eon,-ful,-ic -, ion-ive,-tion-less ,-ness,-UO, (Ship note that all these are considered short (closed), even if the syllables ending with silent e).

Silent U appears in the most words that contain "gue" and "gui", and words such as "cookies" circuit, warranty, protection, intriguing, lacquer, lassitude, alcohol, meal, tax, pier and vanguard. The Mute function is U to indicate that G has a hard "g" and not "DZH" (or that C has the hard sound of "k" not "s"). One exception is "discuss", is pronounced exactly as it appears (Argyoo ").

European Vowels

Many more vocal than those mentioned here are listed in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Two additional pronunciations for each of the OE and UE are common French and German, but not included in loans in English from these languages (which are also represented by O and U with an umlaut). In general, these vowels can be ignored in learning English if not already fluent in them.

Syllabic consonants

The consonant sounds "L", "m", "N" and "NG" everything can be preceded by a schwa court, giving them the quality of vowel syllables. Usually, the schwa appears as a vowel. Most words pronounced An-AL "Uhl" in shorter schwa. Most words ending in a consonant followed by IT pronounced "Uhl", so that the current environment is able and-ible (uhbuhl "," ihbuhl "). In these cases, the E is silent and L is a written vowel schwa cut. Some names and words like dirndl, also contain L. syllabic

Final unstressed syllables ending in a vowel followed by m "or" N "rings also have this schwa quality; accident" NG "is limited to the ground very quickly.
