Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Emne: Re:

gogul: English does not have many sounds that exist in other languages. I think I may know what sound you're referring to by Ach. We have it in a tougher form in Farsi. But that sound does not exist in English. I think in French they have it.

Emne: Re:

gogul: The German 'ch' corresponds to Spanish 'j' or ﺨ in farsi.

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: So I was right in thinking that Ach refers to our خ . I already knew German to sound like a'tough' language because of the frequency of that sound in it. When I listen to German radios or TVs, it sounds like they're just yelling at eachother!

Reza: You should hear the Dutch language! That's the true خ - one!!! Words like "gracht" (ﺨﺮﺨﺖ) are just amazing! :)
