Pronunciation guide

Vowels

There are five vowels in Slovene: ''a, e, i, o, u'' are similar to the Spanish vowels.

In some Slovene words the letter ''r'', like Serbo-Croatian, becomes a hard semi-vowel when it stands before another consonant, as in ''rde?'' (red) or ''rjav'' (brown), or when it stands between two consonants, as in ''Brnik'' (the Ljubljana airport) or ''vrt'' (garden). Like the other Slavic languaghes, the sound of each vowel is pure and very clear. Like Serbo-Croatian, stress usually falls on the second or third-last syllable, but in any case the stressed is always put in capital letters.

; a : the 'a' in "article" ; e : the 'e' in "bed" ; i : the 'ee' in "see" ; o : the 'o' in "open" ; u : the 'oo' in "moon"

Consonants

There are twenty consonants in Slovene. They can be voiced or unvoiced. They are pronounced as they are spelled (refer to the alphabet).

; b : the 'b' in "best" ; c : the 'ts' in "bets" ; ? : the 'ch' in "chocolate" ; d : the 'd' in "day" ; d? : the 'j' in "jeep" ; f : the 'f' in "far" ; g : the 'g' in "go" ; h : the 'h' in "heat" ; j : the 'y' in "Yankee" ; k : the 'k' in "kick" ; l : the 'l' in "left", but 'w' after another consonant or at the end of a word ; m : the 'm' in "mom" ; n : the 'n' in "nothing"; pronounced like a Spanish n as in "Senor" after an an i; a common trait among Slavs. ; p : the 'p' in "path" ; r : the 'r' in trilled like spanish 'r' in "rico", or 'er' when used as a vowel ; s : the 's' in "seven" ; ? : the 'sh' in "shock" ; t : the 't' in "taxi" ; v : the 'v' in "vase", but sometimes 'w' (see below) ; z : the 'z' in "zero" ; ? : the 'su' in "pleasure" or 'ge' in "garage"

The voiced consonants are: b, d, g, j, l, m, n, r, v, z, ?. The unvoiced consonants are: c, ?, f, h, k, p, s, ?, t.

Look carefully at the letters ?, ?, and ?. They are typical for Slovene and some other Central and South European languages. Also note how you pronounce j and h in Slovene.

Certain letters will at times be grouped with certain other letters and have a slightly different pronunciation. The same happens when they occupy a certain position in the word. For example:

When l is at the end of a word or placed after any other consonant than j it is pronounced as w as in ''bel'' (BEW, "white"), ''popoldan'' (POPOWDAN, "afternoon").

"V" is pronounced as v before vowels (''vaja'' "exercise", ''voda'' "water"), before the consonants r (''vrt'' "garden", ''vreme'' "weather") and before vowels within a word (''?iveti'' "to live", ''zvezek'' "notebook"). When v is at the end of the word, after a vowel or before a consonant (except for r and l) it is pronounced as w, as in ''prav''[prow] ("OK"), ''kov?ek''[kowcheck] ("suitcase"). When v is at the beginning of the word or when it appears between consonants or before two or more consonants it is pronounced as u as in ''vpra?ati''[uprashati] ("to ask"), ''vhod''[ukhod] ("entrance"), avto[auto] ("car,automobile"). The Slovene r is pronounced strongly, slightly rolled. It is pronounced as er when it stands before another consonant or when it stands between two consonants.

In a few words where they appear, two identical vowels or consonants are pronounced as one long one, as in ''priimek'' ("surname"), ''oddelek'' ("department").

Common diphthongs

The Slovene diphthongs are generally considered phonemically as combinations of two phonemes, a vowel and /j/ or a vowel and [w] (often written as [u]. The Slovene phonetic diphthongs are [ew, Ew, aw, Ow, ej, oj, Oj, aj, uj]. The diphthongs [aw] and [aj] can safely be used as equivalents of the English /aU/ and /aI/.
