CHINESE PRONUNCIATION.
Three Simple Rules For the Readers ,
News From the Far East.

Three Simple Rules For the Readers OF
News From the Far East.
An acknowledged authority on the
pronunciation Of Chinese names as
transliterated into English assures MS
that there need be no serious difficulty
in sounding the many Chinese names
now appearing in the newspaper If the
speaker will remember that the vowels
IN these names are uniformly those Of
the Italian or Continental alphabet
namely: ~ q always about as a In far;
e always approximately as IN they or
then; very like in machine or pin;
as either the o of song or how, and u
always as the u of rule. (2) Also, it
should be remembered, every syllable
has an independent value and should
be given that value in pronunciation.
(3) As for cOCsonants, they are pro.
nounced exactly as written. These
three rules win secure as correct n
pronunciation of Chinese names as can
be secmed without oral instruction.
For example, under tho first rule one
would say taAkoo for Taku, rot take-
you, MS one may frequently beec the
worl pronounced; lce-hoong-chang for
ii Hung Chang, not lie-hupg-chang;
pehking for pekin, not pcek-in; shang.
hah-ee for Shanghai not shang high;
tsoong-lee-yahmen for Tsung Ii va
men, not tsune lie yaymen. on so on.
Under the second rule Tien-TSin is pro.
nounced toeyen tsnn, accenting the
yen syllable not teen tsin General
Nieh's name is Neeyeh The Chinese
coin tacl is not tale, but tsh-ale pro-
nounced quickly. Yun-nan fu is yoon-
nahu-foo, not yunan-fyu. In like man
ner all words are pronounced with syl-
Liable dstiuctness and with uniform
vowel sound. Under the third rule the
province name SZechuau is sounded
not zekuan, but nearly as zehchohahn,
touching the choo very lightly; Ngan-
hWei rs inggahnghooWayee, dropping
the initial sound and the German pos
session Kiau Ghau Is KeeshoO chahoO.
However without multiplying exam
pies, the reader OF news from the
much-troubled far East will find his
way through the many difficult names
he is to meet in his reading with sufl-
cient safety if he Will but observe the
three simple rules here given for their
correct pronunciation.-Bost Tran
