N.B. I. (ng) after a vowel indicates nasalization as in French. E.g. un bon vin blanc oe(ng) bo(ng) va(ng) blah(ng)

II.  Our respellings acknowledge word-final or pre-consonantal R, as in words like party and hair, which is pronounced in some accents of English (rhotic) and not in others (non-rhotic). Therefore Parker is transcribed as par-kuhr, not pah-kuh, and the rs will be pronounced or not according to the speaker's accent.

III.  Syllables are separated by hyphens. Stressed syllables are given in CAPITALS.

e.g. pronunciation as pruh-nun-see-AY-shuhn /prəˌnʌnsi'eɪʃən/
