Pronunciation is not predictable in English. It may be more predictable in other languages, but there are many situations in English where the same sequence of letters can make a different sound altogether. The obvious disadvantage is that it can make the language much more difficult to learn. However, there is an advantage to unpredictable pronunciation. It can improve reading comprehensibility by keeping the spelling stable. Here's an example: note the different sounds of "s" for the words cats and dogs. The former takes an s sound and the latter takes a z sound, but both are spelled with s.
Some more fun with sounds and spelling
Note the bolded letters in the following sentence all make a different sound, despite the identical spelling:
She said you laid the plaid tie on the chair.
In the following word pairs, just one letter is changed but the pronunciation is significantly altered:
encourage -> entourage
revenges -> revenues
karate -> karats
hideous -> hideout
ballets -> bullets
telephone -> telephony

Wow.. that is interesting. I bet english is a tough language to master. There are so many inconsistencies and exceptions that you would have to learn if it wasn't your native language.
Im a big fan of the blog. Im a frequent visitor and its bookmarked on my google tool bar lol. Keep up the good work.

different places ... different pronunciation ... US english is very different than in England.
Although you have mentioned one advantage of the irregular spelling of English, with your example concerning "cats" and "dogs", I still feel that some sort of spelling reform could improve things. It has been shown more that once that languages with more regular spelling systems make it easier for children to learn, and the frequency of dyslexia is significantly less in those languages (e.g. Turkish and Spanish).
The difficulty is reconciling different pronunciation standards across English speaking countries, but some sort of compromise could be reached between the most important of these, e.g. General American and RP British English.
Great blog with interesting topics! Keep it up!
Concerning this particular post, I would suggest that the pronunciation of plural forms of nouns ending in "s" is actually quite predictable. It is pronounced as "s" for nouns whose singular form ends in a voiceless consonant, and as "z" for nouns whose singular form ends in a voiced consonant. People do not have to think about this when pronouncing the words because it's a natural articulatory process (just try making a "z" sound after a voiceless consonant, or an "s" sound after a voiced one, and you'll notice that it requires considerable conscious effort!) However, as you so well pointed out, choosing to write "s" as the plural morpheme no matter which way it's pronounced makes the spelling of these plural nouns stable, consistent, and easier to learn.
That's an interesting point you brought up.. The English language may not be predictable, but at least it's stable,, And it's very helpful that way.
These are some really interesting suggestions. Im rather curious at your eduction level, im sure its really high to know all this stuff. As a university graduate i still don't know all of this. But then again i chose a business course. Nice work. Keep doing it.

Nice. really informative post. thanks.
very nice and informative.different countries English pronunciation is
different.this is informaton is very
important in study.i like this blog.
Wow, very cool. I kind of found this blog by accident, but now I am hooked.Thanks for your interesting
and great post.
They say that English is one of the hardest languages to master. I am happy that it is my native language, but I find other languages to be equally difficult.
i can see that you are quite passionate about linguistic :)
I never noticed that before, wierd.
I so like your posts, they're very educational. But I noticed you haven't been posting. More posts please.
American English is diffirent from British English. Its all about the dipthongs which differentiates one nationality from the others.
And I want to ask you to write more this kind of posts, everything else doesnt metter, I will live on your blog. :)
I remember training for it once in my speech class and found out its really hard hahaha
i get the rhythm. english words sometime so difficult to understand if not properly pronounce
what about the level of literacy/spelling nowadays?
can you always find out what the author tries to say when he writes
"there" (supposed to be their).
ex: on there workplace
is it a new English or am I just an old fashioned guy?
Ya me too I am happy that it is my native language, but I find other languages to be equally difficult.
Very informative post. Thank you!
US english is very different than in England.
Great blog with interesting topics! Keep it up!
English is not as easy as perceived to learn and teach(I was watching a movie "Good Morning Vietnam" yesterday.
intresting, would not have thought about it that way myself.
Is there any hard and fast rules... i took notice once with "But" and "put" and tried to figure out.
Just trying to read that sentence sure is hard!

Your right about some english words being spelt the same but pronounced differently according to context.
I read a book. I will read a book.
but some of the examples you give are actually words from different languages which is why they're pronounced differently.
entourage = french
ballet = french
karate = chinese?
Funny, Gallagher does a bit on this.
It is funny how in the US different words spelled the same are pronounced different in various areas of the country. I live in the Ozarks now and they tend to say things how they look. But when I lived in the Rockies the spelling was not a good clue on how the word was spoken.
Thats an interesting point, but I feel english is one of the most stable language.
Thats an interesting view of yours.English is a tough language to master because its quite different in various part of the world.
Is like asking a Chinesse to speak fluent chinesse after he has been living in U.S for many years. Definitely good point.
What a informative article. I have already bookmarked this one.
thanks

English is one of the toughest languages to learn yet so many non-native speakers do take the time to do so. While many English speakers just feel that others should conform to their language. I applaud schools that make second language a requirement.
Nice Blog and very interesting topic.

Some people really have problems with sounds and pronunciation, but the way you explain it really helps to improve a lot.
Nice blog and interesting topic. English is not tough,i think English is very easy and interesting language.
This is a great post. English is not tough but as American english is different than British so it makes confusion in the minds of new english learners.
It is very usful.Thanks for the interesting post.Great job.
Where I live everything is spelled exactly as it sounds. If people here travel elsewhere, they pronounce it as it is spelled.

There should be rules for pronunciation no matter what country they speak englich.
I really get confused with pronunciations some times, especially american vs british!
american English is diffirent from British English
Well done, I think that your post is very disputed and interesting.I think that various in our language just make it unique and obviously one of the world spoken.
Great and interesting post! Its a tough language though. Even I couldn't master it. :)
So, interesting article. Love to read it.
Thank you

English isn't hard to master. I guess there are more languages that are much complex such as Japanese and Chinese
Yes this is really funny you can say the same word with different sounds and it will spell differently. Makes for interesting reading.
Hi your blog is very intresting and hepful for me. Tank you for great posts.
I thing that our language is very difficult and different pronunciation have in every country.
Intresting and informative topic. But most of the languages have that different pronunciation.
Particularly interesting blog. I run an outsource team in Davao City, Philippines and think I'll send a few of them to your site to brush up on pronunciations, heh.
As a special needs teacher of pupils with dyslexia it would be so much easier for them (and me!)if English had a more phonetic and logical spelling system. If you look at many German words they are so simply put together by just adding words one after the other to make one large word to describe something and the words are basically written as they sound.
Yes it's totally true, this shows that one got to read and speak more to get used to this kind of special words as it's really hard to guess the sounds.
Thanks for the info. Reading this makes me appreciate being born with the English language more.

I've always been amazed at how the English language can be such a labyrinth. I'm glad I'm a "native speaker", because if I would've had to learn English as a second language, I'd be freaking out by now!
that is interesting. I bet english is a tough language to master. but at least it's stable,, And it's very helpful that way.
Wow that is interesting, you often take it for granted being a native english speaker.
Another Contronym = SPIKE a particular stock SPIKED (UP) TODAY; the football player or volleyball player SPIKED (DOWN) the ball.
Yup, just how much pronunciation differs with just changing of 1 alphabet.
I completely agree with you.
Thanks a ton for showing up the differences.
Currently, with the improvement of the life level in Russia this tendency shortened russian women for marriage. The motives which were forcing Russian ladies to part have modified Free online dating website. At present those of the ladies who are travelling out of the country to marry an outlander are searching for stability Russian women. This occurs because of the significant shift of family understanding by Russian men. They no longer want stable families, more and more they like to live in so called de facto wedlock, when their relationship is not officially registered Free online dating. Thus they try to evade duties. The only problem which is common is the ability to understand cultural specifics of each other.
sound of pronounciation depends on the tip shape of tongue
I love these posts you make. They're all such great discussions among literary friends. I always complain about the way the same sequence of letters will change its sound depending upon the word. You provided a great example of when here. Thanks!

Would love to see if your spelling posts can help my ten year old. I find them intersting.
I always love reading blogs, Its my hobby to find the exclusive information via the blogging.
Really a good example.But talking about English language its difficult to understand its spelling formation rules.
Anyways me too not having convenient example for that when I will be having it i will post it.
Great post. It's really very interesting to know about these words. However I do agree that English is tough subject but it is the only language which is used all over the world. English language serves as a pivotal force in bridging barriers in communication which can make or break international relations and state of affairs. There are over 750 million people who speak English as a foreign language. Learning English presents many new opportunities that you may not have had before, so if you have the time and the motivation, it can be a very rewarding experience.

This is an interesting post!
Important knowledge for us..
Keep going your great work. Your posts are excellent and a great language.
Nice post. Thanks for sharing your linguistic views.
Really impresserable that teach how to learn the languages easily.
Everybody knows English is a funny language so there is no point in arguing with the English language.
And in every countries english words are pronounced in a different way...
First...
I think it's awful that these spammers are ruining these blogs.
Second...
My girlfriend is Russian and she has said that English is an extremely hard language to learn for the very reasons you have pointed out.
This is basically a greater difference between both sound and spelling and it is important as well. This is basically recognition of languages. Thanks for comment.

English is not a tough language to master. Its very easy. Thats y it is used all over the world. Pronunciation varies with regions.
This is a great blog. While traveling i have experience the difference in languages in many places. The English is spoken in numerous styles all over the world.
English is tough but we can learn it in many ways. The pronunciation is one of the toughest part of the English language because in every part of the world they were using it in different way of pronouncing. :D
English is an easy language but its right pronunciation is tough. I like your post. Good luck!
Super interesting stuff here. Accents, dialects and all the different pronouciations in just english alone. Its mindblowing!
I have this blog bookmarked because it's so good. I hope you go back to writting it!

it seems that some english pronunciations remain in the french form that the word came from ie english speakers pronounce "entourage" almost correctly as a French word, esp the "en" morpheme pronounced "OHN", but when it comes to encourage, no "French-ness" remains.
I wonder how some French pronunciations have remained in English speech and how some have dissipated into rules that have no rhyme or reason.

Most of the time, many words have similar pronunciation but different in spelling. It is very important o be a good listener.
I've never thought about how much just one letter can change the pronounciation so your examples were completely eye-opening. Neat!
Brilliant update!!! I liked the way you have presented various things together in a beautiful manner.
Massive Post! I am contented that you have put on sight this esteemed post. Thanks for keep me notify.
Yeah, and there are also lots or silent letters on words. Usually it depends on the accent of the speaker how to pronounce a word.
Nice. really informative post. thanks. These are some really interesting suggestions.

Wow.. that is interesting. I bet english is a tough language to master. There are so many inconsistencies and exceptions that you would have to learn if it wasn't your native language.
I believe the information covered in the discussion is top notch. I've been doing a research on the subject and your blog just cleared up a lot of questions. I am working on a term paper and term papers for my English class and currently reading lots of blogs to study.
It is probably why immigrants can't speak English and stick to their own language communities.

In this distress he was received into the house of Mr. Waldron, where he lay concealed for some time. When the place of his retreat was at length discovered, he took refuge in Flanders, whore he died after a mbt trainers few months' residence, in the summer of 1791.Under the hospitable roof of this worthy and amiable man, Whalley resumed the care of Jonson ; but want of books, and, perhaps, of sufficient composure of mind, rendered his attcmpte ineffectual, and the manuscript was finally abandoned to his friend, who, in the year 1792, coach outlet store online commenced the publication of it in numbers. The success apparently fell short of the expectations of the editor, as the work was not continued beyond the second number.Mr. Waldron neither possessed, nor pretended to be possessed of, scholastic learning; but he was laborious, accurate, conversant with the stage, and imbued with a rational love of the ancient drama, which he had studied coach bags outlet with success. He appears to have collated Whalley's copy with the early editions ; and, on attentively retracing his steps, previously to the arrangement of the text for the present publication, I found much to approve in the caution andI Whalley'« text was that of the booksellers' edition, five finger shoes in Svo. This had been in Theobald's band«, and an incidental remark by him, of no moment whatever, here and there appeared in Ule margin.judgment with which he had uniformly proceeded. His friendship for Whalley, however, has led him to form far too high an estimate of that gentleman's qualifications ; and beyond the revision which I have just mentioned, he seems to have contemplated no alteration of the papers left in his hands.Many years had elapsed since the failure, last mentioned, when the republication coach outlet coupon of Joneon w»s proposed to me by Mr. George Nicol, to whom Whalley'e corrected copy had been consigned by Mr. Waldron. I was well aware of the labor and difficulty of the task ; but my objections were overcome by the encouragement of my friend, and I undertook the edition, confident that I was not about to coach purses outlet encumber the public with a superfluous work, for Jonson had now been long out of the bookseller's hands. One motive there yet was, which had some influence on my determination — a desire, though late, to render justice to the moral character of the author, and rescue him from the calumnies of his inveterate persecutors. My mind had been prejudiced at an early period by the commentators on our old dramas, and I verily believed, as they repeatedly assured me, that " tho great mbt shoes clearance object of Jonson's life was the persecution of Shakspeare ; " nor was it until I became acquainted with the dates of his respective performances that I ventured to question the accuracy of the critics, or to entertain a suspicion that they were actuated by unworthy motives, and could only be relieved 5 finger shoes from the charge of wanton malevolence by the plea of incorrigible folly.Previously to the arrangement of the text, it became necessary to collate the old editions. In the execution of this part of the work, the mode adopted in the revision of Maesinger was carefully followed.
