Pronouncing a few words
I am doing a speech on Phuket, as I find the culture very interesting to me! I want to be able to properly pronounce "jeh" and "Giu Ong." I would greatly appreciate help so I can properly pronounce this! Thank you so much! I know Phuket sounds like pooh-ket from what I have read, but I cannot find anything on these other two words.
I was also wondering how to pronounce "Ma Song." Sorry forgot about that one!Last edited by kb; 15-03-10 at 02:36 PM.

Re: Pronouncing a few words
Phuket = poo-gèt , don't say it "fu-gèt"
I'm not sure about "jeh" and "Giu Ong".
But "Ma song" should be "ม้าทรง, a horse for an angel", a temporary shaman (medium, invoker) for Chinese gods in the vegetable eating festival in Phuket.
Ma Song = máa-song
máa -> high tone, same level as "lunch"
song -> middle tone, like "song" (a music) but shorter.
