ABSTRACT:
A phonetic language translation method for translating a word of any one of various languages into a simplified graphically expressed phonetically correct translation of such word so as to convey the proper pronunciation of such word to a reader. The method comprises the steps of eliminating all silent alphabetic characters, or combinations of characters, and representing all alphabetic characters, or combinations of characters, of the word which phonetically express the traditional speech sound of a single alphabetic character with such single alphabetic character. Representing all alphabetic characters and combinations of characters which phonetically express the alphabetic character name of a single alphabetic character with that single alphabetic character coded with a preselected coding symbol. Representing a speech sound expressing neither the traditional sound of an alphabetic character, or the alphabetic character name of a given character, with a preselected coded translation character. Further, the word is divided into sounded syllables, such division being marked with preselected coding symbols, with the accented or stressed syllable also marked with a further preselected coding symbol. Any visual similarity between a traditionally expressed word and a sounded translation of the present method is broken by altering the horizontal alignment of at least one character in the sounded translation.
