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.
