Optional sounds[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

When a certain sound is pronounced by some speakers but not by others, the sound is put inside parentheses (round brackets). It is correct to say the word either with or without the sound. For example, the respelled pronunciation of the word fuchsia is "FEW-sh(ee)ə". It can either be pronounced "FEW-shee-ə" or "FEW-shə".

  1. Wikipedia editors can create small capital letters like this: "{{sc|syllable in lowercase (small) letters}}".
  2. See "Bad–lad split" for details of this distinction.
  3. This assumes the absence of the cot–caught merger. In accents with this merger, aw represents the same sound as o.
  4. This assumes "happy-tensing". In accents without happy-tensing, unstressed ee is pronounced like i.
  5. Dependent on accent, the /j/ is pronounced after some consonants, coalesceses with other consonants or is dropped entirely.
  6. See Fern–fir–fur merger for details of this distinction.
  7. Value depends on voicing of following consonant; phonemic for very few words. Distinction can be made by adjoining consonant: Myki MY-kee, Mikey MYK-ee.
