gx - soft, as in Gentle, Gem, or like J in Just, Jew.
h - well breathed, as in Horse, Home, How. hx - strongly breathed, and in the throat, as in the Scotch word loCH. (Ask any Scotsman to pronounce it). Hx occurs but seldom. It is the Irish GH in louGH, and the Welsh CH. j - like Y in Yes, You, or J in halleluJah, fJord. jx - like S in pleaSure, or the French J, as in deJeuner, Jean d'Arc. s - like SS in aSS, leSS, never like S in roSe. sx - like SH in SHe, SHall, SHip, or S in Sugar, Sure. In newspapers, etc., which have not the proper type, cx, gx, hx, jx, sx are often replaced by ch, gh, hh, jh, sh, or by c', g', h', j', s', and ux by u. ux - is also a consonant, and has the sound of W in We, as EUXropo, or U in persUade. The VOWELS a, e, i, o, u have not the English, but the Continental sounds. a - always like A in Ah! or in tArt. e - like E in bEnd, but broader, like E in thEre. |
