As there are not correspondinging diphthongs in
[word crossed out] nor even equivalent sounds for all these
in the English language it may be observed as
a general rule that to pronounce both vowels
of each diphthong [words crossed out]
according to the elementary sound given in the
Alphabet will produce the proper sound of
them. But so far as English corresponding sounds
can be given they are here annexed.
Ae. sounds like the slender a in English as
in age bake.
Ai. a little broader than i in wide nice
Au like ou in bought or ow in cow.
Ei Not quite so open [word crossed out] or broad as i, in wide
formed more in the palate
Oi, like oi, in rejoice (rapidly as if one syllable
Ui Something like ewe in Lewis when pronounced
