PRONOUNCING GLOSSARY

In this glossary it will be noted that as a general rule the English pronunciation is given for names that have become at all familiar in history or geography.  Thus the English Cra’cow is given instead of the Polish Kra’koof or the German Krae’kau.

On the other hand names like Koumanova or Dobrudja must be given as the natives of these places pronounce them, as there is no recognized English pronunciation.

In certain cases where there are several current pronunciations, the author has been forced to make a selection, arbitrarily.  Thus a seaport in Greece, which has changed hands recently, has no less than five names.  Its Greek name is pronounced Thessalonyi’ki, while other nations term it variously Saloni’ka, Selanik’, So’lon, Saloni’ki or Salo’nica.

Some sounds, again, it is almost impossible for English speaking people to reproduce.  These are indicated by English syllables which approximate them as nearly as possible.

Not every proper noun which is used in the text will be found pronounced in the glossary.  It is assumed that such names as Austria, Bismarck, etc., can hardly be mispronounced.
