 Dyslexia - Is the spelling system dyslexic?
Spelling pronunciation would not match up with any particular dialect of English but it would be intelligible to all.
Spelling is a different and more difficult task than reading.
Except for its spelling code, English would have the simplest grammar of all European languages.

 Spelling and Pronunciation in Canadian English
Another factor to be considered though is the students' knowledge of which spelling is British and which is American.
In terms of Allard and Landry's (1988) concept of ethnolinguistic vitality, which rates a language's chance for future survival based on the three factors of institutional support, prestige, and demography, Canadian English would be ranked high.
The most influential factor seems to be the use of word processing software.

But as initial syllable spelling, ays and ies might not be recognized as ace and ice.
This practice greatly improved the matches in running text since 80% of the words we use are drawn from a corpus of only 1000 words [Thorndike].
The absence of confusing code overlaps make restored alphabet spelling a viable candidate for a new ITM (initial teaching medium) in the schools.

 History House: Spelling, Schmelling
Spelling in the English language seems to be based on the conception that the mistakes of the past are more comfortable than the uncertainties of the future.
Indeed, like many things in history, spelling silliness is evidence of a stubborn human insistence that the mistakes of the past are better than the uncertainties of the future.
This explains why ache is still spelled the way it is, long after the pronunciation aitch went the way of the dodo.

 The Spelling and Pronunciation of Shakespeare's Name
The spelling "Shakespeare" and its hyphenated variant "Shake-speare" were overwhelmingly preferred in printed texts, but among handwritten references they were much less prevalent, with "Shakspere"-spellings (without the first 'e') almost as common as "Shakespeare"-spellings (15 versus 18).
In Table 2, the first column also lists total occurrences, while the other two columns break these down into printed vs. handwritten occurrences.
For example, there is some evidence that the spellings "-low" and "-ley" were considered interchangeable at the end of a word in Elizabethan times, even though they must be pronounced quite differently in modern English.

 American Accent Training - Pronunciation
The American T is influenced very strongly by intonation and its position in a word or phrase.
Another reason is that there are four ways of saying these two sounds, depending what the final consonant is.
By comparison, the silent E at the end of a word is a signal for pronunciation, but it is not pronounced itself: code is [kod].

 Spelling pronunciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alternative is that a word is being pronounced analogically, in essence as the "sum of its parts".
Many cases are ambiguous between spelling pronunciation and analogical pronunciation, and indeed may perhaps arise as a result of both factors operating simultaneously.
The later switch to in + most was an analogical pronunciation.

 Lesson 2: Spanish Pronunciation and Spelling
The accent mark is not considered part of the word's spelling.
Spanish pronunciation is much closer to the written form of the language than is that of English or French, which makes the learner's task easier.
A knowledge of pronunciation makes some verb problems go away: it explains, for example, why the verb hacer (to do or make) has a z in its third person singular preterit form, hizo (he/she/it/you did or made).

 Lakota - Spelling & Pronunciation
Some words have the same spelling, but different intonations change the word's meaning, and therefore accents are important.
In the Lakota language it is essential to understand pronunciation in order to fully express emotions and to make a statement with feeling.
However, the word is still spelled with the Lakhota nasal vowel.

 Spelling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minority languages and regional languages sometimes lack a unified spelling, a characteristic which was shared by many national languages until recently.
Approved spelling is one of the features of a standard language, and official languages usually have a standard spelling.
Conversely a common spelling over different accents helps to perceive the variants as one common language (see "Chinese language").

 Old-Irish spelling and pronunciation
The pronunciation of a letter is determined mainly by its position in relation to other letters in the same word, and in the case of initial letters, by the influence of preceding words.
As an example of the difference between them, in some dialects of English the word "tune" is pronounced with a broad "t", so that it might be written "toon", while in other dialects it is pronounced with a slender "t", so that it might be written "tyoon".
There were two common diphthongs, one spelled variously "aé, áe, aí, ái" and the other "oé, óe, oí, ói".

Another problem with learning these pronunciations is the fact that a massive sound change happened to the English vowel system quite recently in our history, which creates a huge difference between the way the Anglo-Saxons spelled vowel sounds and the way we do.
