Very Rough Proto-Germanic Pronunciation Guide / Map
Typical Germanic rule: pronounce everything you see. Nothing is silent, really. And there is no mysterious change of the vowel because of other vowels. The same sound every time. Some of the consonants are weird, such as breathy-voiced phonation [ɦ] which I mark as an extra /h/ which means extra [h, x] (something similar to Dh, Kh, Gh), observable in modern Hochdeutsch Herrn, or the weird sound made in the throat for some Spanish (all Latin ?): SEE BELOW
I've made an effort to get word stress rules accurate and use meter similar to that of Germanic prose/poetry.
FYI for standardization, I am using something similar to this Table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunc...respelling_key
(NOT USING WEBSITE FOR DIPTHONGS [they’re the same for most])
/r/ = rolled r (Alveolar trill)
/j/ as in 'ja' aka 'ya'
/h/ = phlegm! Lots of guttural voicing in the back of the throat, as in German / Scandinavian / Dutch, Scottish

HOPEFULLY more than this being added to the unit descriptions makes it into 1.1... Quick and dirty (but well done) recordings possibly
