Appendix:Pronunciation

This page shows the pronunciation of Benweenese represented by AFI.

Long vowels
Long vowels (those that are pronounced longer than normal) are represented in IPA by adding ː (not to be confused with :) before the long vowel. In Benweenese, a vowel becomes long when a double g or f (gg, ff) follows it. For example, see teffet and noggen. However, this does not happen in words like affeli, where the vowel before the double consonant is the first letter of the word.
