How To Pronounce Pronunciation

In British English, pronunciation is pronounced /prəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/. The narrow phonetic transcription is [pr̥əˌnʌ̃n.siˈeɪ.ʃn̩]. In American English, it is pronounced /prəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/.

Pronunciation has five syllables, and the main stress falls on the fourth syllable. British and American speakers say it the same way.

Slashes / / show the phonemic transcription, the sounds that change meaning. Square brackets [ ] show the phonetic transcription, with the finer detail of how the sounds are actually made.
