our letters R and K.

i might have covered this previously, maybe in one of my earlier posts. i cant emphasise this fact enough, that we tutong-ians pronounce some letters differently. lets just say, we do it tutong way. woohoo! (who's with me? *angkat tangan*)



letter R.

is pronounced as the french R. the best way to explain it. mind you, spelling will still be the same.

examples,

mingor - bising
turis - perempuan
uri - ingau
tiru - sudah


letter K.

close to sound of Q i would say. anatomically, posterior 1/3 of your glossus is pressed hard on the soft palate. (cant help it. cant help it.huhu)

for instance,

metuka - kerita
kenayi - adik
kuan - punya
kambing - kambing (duh! hehe)




take care readers, Salam.
