Sumerian Dictionary

Every letter must be pronounced.There are no silent syllables in Sumerian. Hence, "KIA"

is pronounced "KEE=ya"; "KAIMANU" is pronounced "ka=ee=MAH=nu".

Vowels=aas in "father"eas in "whey"ias in "Antique"oas in "boat" (but rarely found)uas in "Zulu"

Consonants=

Most consonants are basically the same as in English. The Sumerians did

not have an alphabet as we know it, but they had developed a syllabary,very much like the Japanese "Kana" script of today. In phonetictransliterations, the English spelling sought to approximate the Sumerianpronunciation. However, there are a few sounds, which English does notpossess, and which have been put into phonetic variations.Important examples below=

Xas in German "ach"CH(Same as above)Qas in "like"K(Same as above)

SHas in "Shall"SSas in, perhaps, "lasso"; a hissing "s" common to Arabic languagesZas in "pizza" a hard "ts" sound, not quiet as in "zoo"
