forget foreigners who always pronounce it the wrong way.Manishh wrote:

similarly, they also commit pronunciation errors with Rakésh राकेश by pronouncing the kesh like mesh when the 'e' is supposed to give off a little softer and longer tone instead(e.g. देश) their pronunciation is more like राकैश in that matter.
It is originally derived from Hindi and the Hindi pronunciation is the only right one.
also, मेनीश sounds more like American english of pronouncing it.
even the first syllable is wrong, it isn't supposed to align with their pronunciation of master.

I honestly didn't expect it to be this hard. Currently no one got the final word right though. It's very weird TBH.
BTW this is American English.
Oh no the recordings broke so I'll have to renew it.

I feel like Yyotta is capable of speaking better English than most of us here if not all
I think the thing that makes the last word difficult is that its probably an obscure word that native speakers would never use or know about, and sounds alot like a place name, so we just assumed it was that instead of thinking harder. In hindsight it is in switzerland though so not exactly english lmao. Still no idea what it is.
Still no clue what 8 is either

maybe it would help if a better text to speech thing was used?

cause I head most people pronounce it as "nuke-lear" as in those two conjoined words instead of as one word, which is how I pronounce it.
Like nu-klear, but a small syllable gapabraker wrote:

I think we should know what american accent the tts is if its going to be american, since there are alot of differences in how we pronounce stuff regionally. Big country

It just says English (US) so I have no idea.WitherMite wrote:

it's not a native language of the country and that sort of dyslexic pronunciation applies to every country and every language. Generally, it would use the common dialect by the officials.WitherMite wrote:

Edit: Calling a Native Red Indian language as Native American(since the langauge still exists) suits the terminology and not usually some foreign language that shaped the main language in that land. Not even a single country in Africa regards of English as a native language, yet the USA is doing it.

most people here are native english though, not sure what you mean by it not being native to the country. language isn't a static thing, its always changing, not really such a thing as a correct dialect

shins are the plural common word for the front of the lower leg/tibia bone
quilt is a large heavy blanket, usually made of patchwork fabric
xeric is apparently an adjective to describe dry environments
aster is a flower, and a greek/latin word for star
why is aster yellow it's literally easy to spell with that tts
