When 3 variants are given for a word, the first (in bold) is Tehuetzál, the second is its sister-language Cuitsañil, and the third is their parent language. When only 2 variants are given, the word is the same in both Tehuetzál and Cuitsañil. When only 1 variant is given, the word is the same in all languages.
The parent language, when listed separately, is written in the IPA.
In Tehuetzál, x is pronounced like "sh". Doubled vowels are "long vowels," meaning they are literally held for a longer time than a single vowel.
In Cuitsañil, u followed by another vowel is pronounced like "w". Grave-accent vowels are pronounced as follows:
- à
- /ə/ (like English "uh")
- è
- /ɛ/ (like English "bet")
- ì
- /ɪ/ (like English "bit")
- ò
- /ə/ (like English "uh") — same as à
- ù
- /ʊ/ (like English "book")
For both languages, all other spellings are pronounced as in Spanish.
These words are generated via a Perl script written by John Fisher and modified by Jim Henry and myself.
