      this makes me wonder if deaf people who read the captions on TV understand accents/pronunciation or if they just smile-and-nod

        Yup that’s what I said 😎

        Without joking, yes the S is silent so if we try to think with English language accent it could be written Pah-ree. Pah without pronouncing the H, more like how you say papa.

        And RI is, well yeah, ree. But with a French R, the one that is difficult to master as this sound does not exist in English.

          The s being silent is one thing but I find English speakers mostly struggle with getting the vowels and combinations anywhere close, even here I read this “pah” and I’m like “no way even 1/10th of them get that A right”, or indeed the “ri”.

        The Parisians are mostly people from all over the country that came there to work though.

        It’ll be quicker to round up the cities that won’t sign… Paris. That’s it that’s the list.

      Even that n is suspect. Surprise French silent letters be like

      Moh-reh-aal

        There are no rules for the names of places. Most places prefixed by “mont” will have a silent t, but I live near a place called Montrichard and the t must be pronounced

        This is more like it

        We don’t say the N or the T

        Mor re al is how I would write it but yours is probably better for pronouncing

        tbh, the n isn’t silent in french, it serves to make the /ɔ̃/ sound (it’s kind of a nasally O) with the “on” digraph

        (adressed at anyone reading) btw, does the /ɔ̃/ sound even exist in english? i can’t find any example of it…

          The way the quizzical “huh” is sometimes pronounced is close perhaps? I don’t know if I’d call that an English word though.

          I mean, no letters are really silent, they affect the pronunciation of adjacent letters.

          I’d say you don’t pronounce the ‘n’ like an ‘n’, making it silentish, and it affects the adjacent ‘o’, giving it a more gutteral sound.

          Now if only I could roll an ‘r’ instead of gurgle it

      It isn’t AI and it took 3 seconds on google with the phrase ‘Cat in front of Eiffel Tower’ to discover that.

      These comments are exhausting. You’re making an accusation but you’re not bothering to follow it up with anything at all. It’s just a complete hunch that you throw out. How is this supposed to be helpful? If you want to accuse something of being AI, that’s fine, but at least have some sort of basis to it or check Google to see if this actually is AI. By making false claims you’re only making it EASIER for good AI to slip past.

      Stop it, please.
