Samuel Johnson Quotes
Glass. A Broad Resembles The A Of The German; As All, Wall, Call. Many Words Pronounced With A Broad Were Anciently Written With Au; As Sault, Mault; And We Still Say, Fault, Vault. This Was Probably The Saxon Sound, For It Is Yet Retained In The Northern Dialects, And In The Rustick Pronunciation; As Maun For Man, Haund For Hand. The Short A Approaches To The A Open, As Grass. The Long A, If Prolonged By E At The End Of The Word, Is Always Slender, As Graze, Fame. A Forms A Diphthong Only With I Or Y, And U Or W. Ai Or Ay, As In Plain, Wain, Gay, Clay, Has Only The Sound Of The Long And Slender A, And Differs Not In The Pronunciation From Plane, Wane. Au Or Aw Has The Sound Of The German A, As Raw, Naughty. Ae Is Sometimes Found In Latin Words Not Completely
