 | Pronounciation Issues |
|
Hey all, I think I'm picking up greek fairly well so far, but one thing that's bugged me is that I seem to see all different explanations for pronounciations for some of the letters. Could anyone please elaborate to me the pronounciation of Γ γ and X x please? By that, I just mean the different sounds they make when joined with different letters and such. If someone can point to me a good audio clip of what it sounds like, or better yet someone who speaks greek record some examples, I'd be very grateful. Thanks |

Check out Harry Foundalis' page "the Greek Alphabet" for the gutteral sound of γ and χ before [a], [o], and [u] http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/harry/lan/grkphon.htm and the "Palatalization" section of his "Details of Modern Pronunciation" page for the palatal sound before [e] and [i]: http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/harry/lan/grphdetl.htm Regards, Greg Brush |
