As with the vowels, English isn’t always consistent about the pronunciation of consonants. For example, in the English word “lamb”, the letter b <\/strong>is silent, and in “hustle”, the letter t <\/strong>is silent. If those same words were Talossan words, every letter would be pronounced. This makes learning the Talossan consonants fairly simple.<\/p>\n

First, note that if a consonant appears in one of Talossan’s consonant combinations<\/a>, rather than alone, then the pronunciation given on this page does not apply. That is, just as the letter t <\/strong>in the English combination “th” is not pronounced as it is when it appears alone, the same can be said of the t <\/strong>in the Talossan consonant combination tx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Most of the Talossan consonants sound just like an English speaker would expect. For example, there is nothing (much) to say about the consonants b<\/strong>, f<\/strong>, k<\/strong>, m<\/strong>, n<\/strong>, p<\/strong>, t<\/strong>, v<\/strong>, and z<\/strong>. If you say them just as you say them in English, you will be fairly safe. There are only a few little quirks to cover for the remaining consonants.<\/p>\n

The Letter c<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have already covered the fact that c <\/strong>is always pronounced “hard”, like the English letter k <\/strong>except when it is followed by an e <\/strong>or an i<\/strong>. In those cases, the pronunciation of c <\/strong>becomes like the English “ch” sound. That is, a Talossan word cic<\/em> would be pronounced like the English word “cheek”.<\/p>\n

There are a couple more things to say here, though. First, if the ce <\/strong>or ci <\/strong>letter pair is followed immediately by another vowel, the e <\/strong>and i <\/strong>become silent (and do not form a diphthong with the following vowel). The only exceptions to this rule are cei <\/strong>and ceu<\/strong>, in which a diphthong forms. This can be clarified by a few examples:<\/p>\n
