Էջ x - It may be observed that the French language has no accent in the sense in which we employ this term. The marks called accents, that are placed over the different vowels, serve only to indicate some particular sound of these letters, and not that peculiar impulse of the voice, which characterizes an accented syllable in the English and most other European tongues. Thus...
Էջ iii - Those who have much leisure to think, will always be enlarging the stock of ideas ; and every increase of knowledge, whether real or fancied, will produce new words, or combinations of words.
Էջ x - J sounds like soft g in French, or zh in English. 18. L has usually the same sound as in English ; but when it ends a word, being preceded by i, or when U follows i, in any situation, it usually has what is called its liquid sound.
Էջ ix - ACCENT. Accent is the laying of a peculiar stress of the voice on a certain letter or syllable in a word, that it may be better heard than the rest, or distinguished from them : as, in the word presume, the stress of the voice must be on the letter u, and second syllable sume, which takes the accent.

Էջ x - The French consonants, when occurring at the end of a word are generally not pronounced, unless they are immediately followed by a word beginning with a vowel; eg in content, BORDEAUX, and dents. If, however, they are followed by a mute e, or any other vowel, they must always be articulated, eg in contente, dente, &c.
Էջ x - N, when followed by a vowel, or when double, has the same sound as in English ; but when at the end of a word (not immediately followed by another word beginning with a vowel), or when followed by another consonant in the middle of a word, they have what is termed the nasal sound...
