Pronunciation Help

  • Pronunciations are given with an easy respelled phonetic transcription, with no difficult notations as in dictionaries or the International Phonetic Alphabet.
  • Syllables are separated by dashes.
  • Syllables that are stressed/accented are capitalized.
    Example for Seattle: see-AT-ull
  • Syllables enclosed in quotation marks denotate a sound that is represented by a common English word. This method is used if it seems more clear or helpful than an awkward transcription. Examples:
    Pronunciation for Ai:
    "eye"
    Pronunciation for Knightley:
    "NIGHT"-lee

Search Tips

  • One or more names can be entered in the search box
    Example: Mark John Ben
  • For the pronunciation of a specific individual's name enter the full name
    Example: Karol Wojtyla
  • Searches are case insensitive
