We hope th a t you can become familiar w ith the alphabet, and th a t it will help you as you continue to learn (Sahaptin) Ichishkiin from the community classes or radio and newspaper lessons. This leson will help you learn how they are pronounced, so th a t you can begin to read and w rite Paiute. The firs t issue described the vowels “ a,e.i,o,u, and from, this issue we will s ta rt w ith remainder o f the alphabet sounds. If you have children who are learning in school, you may want to go over some o f the sounds and words in this book w ith them. Chances are, they can help you pro nounce the sounds, and you can help them to read the words! aa: Long a ~ held longer; always stressed Concentate on three or four sounds a t a tim e. Look at the words, and practice making, the sound. Try to sound out the word by beaking them into parts, or by following along w ith the breakdowns th a t are pro vided here. It takes quite a long tim e to master all o f the sounds. As you continue to learn you will get more and more practice w ith the more challenging sounds. Give yourself time, and fo r the firs t year, set your goal at around 70% or 80% fo r correct pronuncia tion. ’ We have have included word games ad quizzes to help you check your progress. We will go throug every le tte r o f the alphabet & describe how to make the sound it represents. “Accent Mark” used above: i, 1 shows where to put more stress into the sound. “ Glottal Stop’ I The Glottal stop is used beween wo vowels to make them tw o seperae sounds. It sounds like the “ t t " i n “ Mut ton Mountains" o r “ u tto n ." (In English words, teh glottal stop is often spelled ith a double-t “ t t " ) It is made when he th ro a t is ense and the vocal chords are closed and then opening the lid to the esophagus. a: Sounds like “ a” in “ papa” UNRELATED SOUNDS There are seven Wasco consonant sounds th a t do not occur in English, although they are related to certain English consonants. We give the best simple explanation possible o f how to make these sounds. The best way to learn them, o f course, is to listen to a speaker o f Wasco, on a recording, or, preferably live. Sounds related to “ I” b: Its softer than English, and usually sounds like a cross between “ b” and “ v ” . It is made by brining the lips close together but not touching. d: Sounds like “ d” in “ dog” dy: This sound can be pro nounced several ways. It often sounds like “j" in “judge” . If it comes towards th e end o f the word, it is sometimes pronounced like “ ch” in “ church” . Sometimes it is pronounced the same as “ y.” dz: Sounds like the “ds” in “ ads". Sometime words w ith this sound are spelled w ith a “tz ” . e: Sounds like “ ee” in “ beet” ee: Long e — held longer; always stressed. g: Its s o fte r than the English’^ ” . in the middle o f a word or phrase, it is made by bringing the back o f the tongue close to you, but n o t touching, the roof o f th e mouth. When it comes a t the beginning o f a word or phrase, it is close to the English “ g” as in “ g o ", h: Sounds like “ h ” in “ home” . i: Sounds like “ i” in “ bite” ; always stressed k: It is softer than the En glish “ k” . It is similar to the “ k” in “ kid” . Sometime it can sound like g. m: It is softer than the English” m ” . It often sounds similar to the “ m” in “ man” . Sometimes it is so so ft th a t it sounds like a “w ” . n: Sound slike “ n” in “ nose” . I: this sound is made some w hat like the English and Wasco “ I” sound, but the vocal chords do not vibrate. One way to learn this sound is to try to pronounce an “ I” and an “ h” sound a t the same time. In spelling it is called “ barred-L” tt: this sound is like a “ t ” sound followed immediately by the “ I” sound. It sounds somewhat like the sound w ritten “ t l” in “A tlantic;” but the second part o f the sound is T rather than “ i.” In spelling it is called “ t-barred- I” Sounds related to “ k” and , I l g: This sound is made like “ g,” but farther back in the mouth. The tdunge is pulled toward th e back o f the m puth to close o ff the air. In spelling it is called “deep g.” q: This sound is made like “ k,” bu t farther back in the mouth. It bears the same relationship to “ k” as “ g” does to “ g.” x: This sound is smade in the same place in the m outh as “ k,” but the tongue, instead o f closing o ff the air com pletely as in “ k,” leaves a little space between the tongue and the to p o f the mouth, so th a t the air goes through w ith a kind o f hissing sound. This is about the same sound spelled “ ch” ffl, German “ ¡ch.” x: This sound is the “ x / ’ but made farther back in the mouth; it is made in the same place as “q.” It is tike the sound writen “ch” in German “ achtung.” In spell ing it is called “ deep x;” nn: The long n is held longer, and is always stressed. —— Higher Education info PLAEMENT TESTING fo r students plan on attend ing college.
