We hope th a t you can use
these descriptions to learn
the sounds o f (Sahaptin)
ichishkiin and how the y are
w ritten. 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.
