abstract	Gwethe has some unusual consonant sounds for English speakers. The letters t, k, kw, z, r, w and l are all pronounced very similarly to their English counterparts. The letter s is pronounced as in the ts of English kits, and the letter d is pronounced as the th in there. These sounds should pose no problems from English speakers. The letter y is pronounced harsher than is normal in English, and the letter g is pronounced similar to its Spanish pronunciation. The letters th are pronounced as an English t immediately followed by the th sound from thin. The combination lw is pronounced as the ll in English fell, but a little further back in the mouth. The combinations lv and lu are pronounced a lot like the li in Italian foglia, but also with more rounded lips. The letter u is pronounced as in French, such as in huit or huile. The most difficult letters are probably v, gw and cu. v is pronounced as a harsh u, while gw is pronounced as a harsh w. The combination cu is pronounced similarly to kw, but further forward in the mouth, similar to the difference in positions between u and w. The letters v, g, y, and gw all have nasal pronunciations when they are preceded by n. This means that air should be released through the nose when pronouncing these combinations, and the n itself should not be pronounced. Where n falls between two vowels, it is only partially pronounced and is a bit like r.
