My closest attempt at pronouncing that:
as written it should be pronounced
shw-meth-quey-em-ass-em
where the shw is throaty - is it different because of the language?
are you thinking because of the use of IPA characters? because those have defined sounds only within the IPA.
Is this not IPA? I thought the article said it was
it's the alphabet the BC first nations use. it uses similar characters but not with ipa pronunciations.
TIL - thanks
