Phonetic Pronunciation Tips

• Pronunciations are given with an easy respelled phonetic transcription, with no notations as in dictionaries or the International Phonetic Alphabet.
• Syllables are separated by dashes.
• Syllables that are stressed/accented are capitalized.
  Example for Seattle: see-AT-ull
• Syllables enclosed in quotation marks denotate a sound that is represented by a common English word. This method is used if it seems more clear or helpful than an awkward transcription.
  Example for the name Ai: "eye"
  Example for the name Knightley: "NIGHT"-lee

Search Tips

• One or more names can be entered in the search box
  Example: Mark John Ben
• For the pronunciation of a specific individual's name enter the full name
  Example: Karol Wojtyla
• Multiple names can be separated by commas
  Example: Wen Jiabao, Karol Wojtyla
• Searches are case insensitive

If you are having problems using the button for audio pronunciations you may need to uninstall and reinstall the Macromedia Flash plugin. See the following link for information on how to do this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
