English influence

The influence of English altered how Spanish is pronounced in Altierra.

  • The "y" sound of double L changed to a simple L
  • The "th" sound of S became a simple S
  • The trilled R becomes a simple R.
  • E becomes "eh" or a schwa when unstressed, but an "AY" when stressed.
  • O becomes a schwa when unstressed, but an "OH" when stressed, except at the end of a word when it is also "OH".

A remnant of Spanish is the hard sound of J and G which is retained so Jesenia is pronounced with a hard "H" at the beginning.

Spanish stress rules in brief

  • Ends in a vowel, -n, or -s → stress falls on the second-to-last syllable (unless marked otherwise).
  • Ends in any other consonant → stress falls on the last syllable (unless marked otherwise).
  • A written accent (á é í ó ú) always overrides the above and marks the true stressed syllable.
  • Stressed syllable is shown in CAPITALS.
