Phonology

The phonology of Eberban is described in greater detail in the official grammar book. If technical explanations and IPA are desired, refer to it instead. This book will provide a layman's explanation.

Assuming that the reader is a native English speaker, all letters are spoken the same way as their English counterparts, but with a several exceptions. For vowels:

• a is spoken like in "father", never like in "comma".
• o is spoken like in "lord", never like in "boot".
• e is spoken like in "bet", never like in "beet".

Note that the English words used may not necessarily correspond with the canonical or correct pronunciation depending on your accent -- for those, refer to the official book. For consonants:

• c is the "sh" in "shell".
• The sound for j does not exist in English proper, but it's the "ge" in "luge" or the g in "bourgeois". It's the voiced equivalent of the previous letter, c.
• tc is the "ch" in "chime".
• dj is the "j" in "jam".
