How do you pronounce...

...if you think Welsh is illogical, it's not. It looks daunting but follows the rules a lot better than English does. Care for an example? George Bernard Shaw used it to illustrate why English needed a makeover very badly.

How do you pronounce GHOTI?


Think about it,

If you're familiar with English pronunciation, it should be easy.

Come on, it's not that hard.

It's FISH, of course!

gh as "f" in "laugh", o as "i" in "women", and ti as "sh" in "action".

And to think German had a much-disputed spelling reform recently. :D
