Archaic Modern Niarg - should be pronounced thus:
There was no vowel shift between Archaic Modern Niarg and Niarg Standard, so vowels sound much the same as modern Appalachian English. However:
Each letter of a diphthong tends to be pronounced separately, for example, maister would be pronounced, may-ist-er.
Es at the end of words are not silent, but are pronounced.
Certain consonants which have become silent in Niarg Standard are sounded, for example:
-the k in knight
-the gh in knight. The gh is hard, much like a kh.
-the gh in thought, just as in knight.
Remember that Ich means I and should be pronounced to sound like ike. Hit means it and ybe is similar to is and are.
