HINTS ON SPANISH PRoNUNCIA-
TON.

The difficulty experienced by the
average American in pronouncing the
Spanish names with which the news
papers are filed nowadays renders the
following hints on pronunciation of
some timeliness.
There are, Of course, as many dia
Iects of Spanish as there are Of English
and they vary even more widely; but
the Castillian is the language of the
educated classes, and is followed here.
The letters not given below are pro
nounced as in English, aud each Span
ish letter has but one sound. A is
pronounced alb; b has no exact equiva
lent, but is between the English v and
W. O before q and -5h in think, else
where-k; oh in though; Ca in
fate; g before 9 and al, elsewhere as
In English, but que and gui are pro
nounced gay and gee; b is not sounded
ice In feel; j-h in horse; Eli in
million; c-Oin go; Ok; r with a
long roll; u-0o In fool; y-se in feel
eth in think. Each letter always
has it's full sound. Spanish words
ending in consonants are usually &C
cented on the last syllable, except
plurRls OF ~adjec5ives; words ending in
vcwels are accented on the penuIti.
innate syllable; where the accent is
otherwise it is always indicated. The

the same as that Of the Spaniards.
