    Question



    The correct transcription of the word ‘English’ is

    A.

    /ˈɪŋglɪʃ/

    B.

    /ˈɪŋlɪʃ/

    C.

    /ˈenglɪʃ/

    D.

    /ˈenglis/

    Correct option is A


    The correct transcription of "English" is /ˈɪŋglɪʃ/, where:
    · /ˈɪŋ/: The first syllable is stressed, with a nasal /ŋ/.
    · /gl/: A voiced consonant cluster follows.
    · /ɪʃ/: The final syllable has a short "i" sound and ends with a "sh" sound (/ʃ/).
    This transcription is standard for British English pronunciation.
    Information Booster:
    1. Stress falls on the first syllable in "English."
    2. The nasal /ŋ/ is distinct and common in English phonetics.
    3. The cluster /gl/ reflects the influence of Germanic roots.
    4. Correct transcription ensures clarity in teaching English pronunciation.
    5. Regional variations may exist but maintain similar phonetic rules.
