dasari4kntr Posted March 22, 2024 Report Posted March 22, 2024 Here's a list of English vowel sounds with their closest Telugu letter representations. It's important to note that some English sounds don't have a direct equivalent in Telugu because Telugu vowels are more straightforward. I'll also include the closest Telugu sound to the English pronunciation where a direct equivalent might not exist. Short Vowels in English and Their Telugu Equivalents: 1. /æ/ as in “cat” - Closest to అ (a). 2. /ɛ/ as in “bed” - Closest to ఎ (e). 3. /ɪ/ as in “sit” - Closest to ఇ (i). 4. /ɒ/ as in “cot” - No direct equivalent, but అ (a) is somewhat close. 5. /ʌ/ as in “cut” - No direct equivalent, but అ (a) can be somewhat close. 6. /ʊ/ as in “put” - Closest to ఉ (u). Long Vowels in English and Their Telugu Equivalents: 1. /iː/ as in “see” - ఈ (ee). 2. /uː/ as in “too” - ఊ (oo). 3. /ɑː/ as in “father” - ఆ (aa). 4. /ɔː/ as in “call” - Closest to ఓ (o), though not a perfect match. 5. /eɪ/ as in “say” - ఏ (e) combined with a shorter య (ya) sound. 6. /aɪ/ as in “my” - ఐ (ai). 7. /oʊ/ as in “no” - ఓ (o) combined with a shorter వ (va) sound. 8. /aʊ/ as in “now” - ఔ (au). Diphthongs: 1. /ɔɪ/ as in “boy” - ఒయ్ (oy). 2. /ɪə/ as in “near” - ఇయా (iya). 3. /eə/ as in “hair” - ఏర (era), though not commonly used as a diphthong in standard Telugu script. Keep in mind, the equivalences are approximations because Telugu vowels are more straightforward and don't always exactly match the nuances of English vowel sounds. Quote
