Non-English Sounds

1 min read · 222 words

There are 4 extra sounds in Impa that are not in the English language.

If you don't know any of these go ahead and look them up- trust me it will definitely help

  • X/x is not pronounced like KS or Z, it is a deep guttural sound like the ch of the Scottish-Gaelic(hehe gay) word Loch. It is the hardest sound in here so don't get worried if you cant pronounce it.

  • Ɍ/ɍ is the rolled r in Spanish or Italian. This one is the easiest for me and i don't know how to describe it so you might have to look it up.

  • Ƀ/ƀ is the Bilabial Trill (whatever that means), you make it by vibrating both of your lips together (like the motorcycle noise), sometimes you will think you are doing this noise but it turns out you aren't, so maybe watch a video of someone making this sound and you will completely understand.

  • Ȼ/ȼ is simply just a fusion of T and S, the same that beatboxers you to make the Hi-Hat. Just like how J is a fusion of D and Ž and how Č is a fusion of T and Š (bet you didn't know that!). When you say any of these fusion sounds really fast together you make a new sound, and that's what Ȼ is.
