Re: [quizbowl] Re: Speaking of pronunciation guides...

Good catch, both of you!  (I KNEW I should have
written everything down before I started.)  And S
before a consonant morphs into sh.  Sprechen Sie
Deutsch?  -> shprech' uhn zie Doytsh.  Did I mention
"eu" = oy?  I probably missed that too.  (And, yes,
"typisch" is the word I had in mind.  Now that I'm at
home, I have a dictionary to look in; right next to
typisch is Tyrann, Typhus, and Typographie.  The
pronounciation guide says y is pronounced the same as
ueh (as in Fuehrer).)  "oo" is, I think, rather rare,
but it's a longer version of o (like a -> aa).

So we've changed s, v, and eu; as you can see above
"ph" is pronounced "f".

Hoping I didn't miss anything else,
