Фонетичний довідник
Вимова в сучасній літературній англійській мові базується на нормах лондонського діалекту (Standard English).
За останні століття звукова система англійської мови зазнала значних змін. Написання слів в англійській мові грунтується на традиційному принципі. Особливостями англійської мови є те, що в ній відсутнє точне співвідношення між вимовою слова та його написанням. Це особливо відноситься до голосних звуків і букв. Тому знання системи звукових одиниць та їх буквеного вираження на письмі є запорукою успішного розвитку навичок правильного читання і письма англійською мовою.
В англійській мові один і той самий звук передається на письмі різними буквами та сполуками, і одна і та сама буква може передавати різні звуки. Так, 26 букв англійського алфавіту передають 44 звуки. Одна буква може позначати різні звуки.
Наприклад, буква „а” в залежності від позиції може виражати кілька голосних звуків: [ei] – tape, [æ] – map, [a:] – glass, [o:] – tall.
При вивченні англійської мови використовується фонетична транскрипція.

Читання голосних Загальна характеристика голосних
Однією з відмінних рис англійської системи голосних є наявність довгих та коротких звуків. Довгі голосні: [i:], [a:], [o:], [u:], [ə:]; короткі голосні: [ı], [ʌ], [o], [u], [æ], [e], [ə]. Довгота звука або його короткість можуть впливати на значення слова.
Дифтонгами називаються звуки, які складаються з двох елементів. Дифтонгів в англійській мові є вісім: [eı], [ou], [aı], [au], [oı], [ıə], [ɛə], [uə].
Вимова голосних залежить від положення складу, до якого вони входять (наголошеного або ненаголошеного), типу наголошеного складу, сполучення з іншими голосними, сполученням з наступними голосними. Зі свого боку голосні можуть впливати на вимову приголосних.
В англійській мові є чотири типи наголошених складів, в яких голосні букви читаються по-різному. В односкладовому слові, слід визначити тип складу, тобто чи це закритий чи відкритий склад. Закритий склад, як відомо, закінчується на приголосний (bad, pan), відкритий – на голосний. Існують також умовно-відкриті склади, в яких наголошена голосна відокремлена від кінцевого німого e будь-якою приголосною. Читання голосних в закритих та відкритих складах змінюється в залежності від наявності букви r після голосної.

відкритий склад |

dirt [ə:] |
dire [aıə] |
y |

type [aı] |
myrtle [ə:] |
tyre [aıə] |
Кожна голосна буква в англійській мові може передавати чотири різні звуки в залежності від типу складу. У закритому складі всі букви вимовляються коротко. У відкритому складі всі букви мають алфавітне звучання.
У третьому типі складів сполучення голосних з буквою r (або r + голосна) передають довгі звуки, дифтонги.
