AureliaeLacrimae Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is there a phonetic chart somewhere? I wish to try pronouncing these words. I wonder which vowels are long, which short, which open, which closed... is j more of a German or English undertone.... are both l heard in a word or only one? Is it the dark l or clear one?

linguaholic Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I might be able to find this kind of chart. I will give it a try. If I find something, I will post it here, later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaffi Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 There are a few exceptions to where the vowels are longer, but generally all vowels are long and pronounced. There are a few times in words they are longer, as the word :lyst - the y is long for describing light, and light colors, but for desire the s is stressed. The charts that you find are not very good, I have never heard anyone be able to speak or read well form them. I will try to look for the audio tracks.Here is a video from one of the many children's TV show, or Barne TV Me Eli fra "Portveien 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
