Title: How to pronounce Phyrexia???
Post by: GamenDork on October 10, 2014, 12:33:03 AM
I just got out of a heated argument with one of my friends about the pronounciation of 'Phyrexia'. He didn't give me a different pronounciation, but did say if you look in the English language it is pronounced differently than it typically is. I looked online, but only found the word 'Phyrexia' in French... Plz halp!

1.) J does not equal Sh. [ʃ] does. J is a glide

2.) yes I am a music student

The R is covered in the [ɜ] notation. That means any vowel but [a] followed by a retroflex r
