Pronunciation

Latin vowels are used mostly, except as noted below.

ě is like e, except when following a hard consonant (ch, d, h, k, n, r, or t) when it becomes "yeh".
i shortened English "ee" (dropping the "y" sound at the end), except when following a hard consonant, when it is "yee".
u is like the short "oo" in moon.
y is like i except that it does not change when following a hard consonant.
á, é, í, ó, ú, ů, ý are all double-length versions of the corresponding unmarked vowels. Only í is affected by hard consonants.
au, eu, ou are diphthongs.
c = "ts"
č = "ch"
ch like German or Yiddish "ch" (the ich-sound, not the ach-sound) ď = "dy", but not "j"
h is similar to the English h, but voiced.
j = "y"
ň = "ny", like Spanish "ñ"
r is rolled like in Spanish or Italian.
ř is described as a simultaneous rolled "r" and the ž sound.
š = "sh"
ť = "ty", not like "ch"
w = "v"
ž = "zh", as in measure
b, d, f, g, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, v, z are all the same as in English.

When a voiced consonant appears at the end of a word, it becomes unvoiced. E.g., Hagrid is really pronounced as Hagrit. When two or more consonants appear in sequence, they are all voiceless (if possible) when the last consonant is voiceless, and all voiced (if possible) if the last consonant is voiced, except if it is v. Thus Kratiknot becomes Kratignot, but Lektvary is pronounced as spelled.

The first syllable of every word is stressed.
