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

Hrqls: If they are all pronounced exactly the same, yes. Then the phonetic symbols will be the same too.

I have no idea about how those words are pronounced in languages other than English, so I cannot give you my word for it.

But I can give you other examples:

In English, They're, their, there are all pronounced exactly the same and therefore, all are shown this way in phonetic symbols: /ðea(r)/
