Interesting thread, thanks!

It's kind of halfway between an "oh" sound and "u".

You define the vocals as: "A vocal sound; specifically, a purely vocal element of speech, unmodified except by resonance".

But all your vocals, except "e" are modified sounds composed by 2 real vocals.

You guys have terrible problems with vocals

Hi JB42,

>I think it's pronounced Yunkers, but what do I know. The one that kills me is Jabo. It's Yabo, not Jab-o, lol.

Here's a WAV file with German aircraft names and some Luftwaffe terms as pronounced by a native German speaker (me).

Since I don't want to kill you, I omitted "Jabo" :-P

Hi Hawker,

>They have a .de version of America Online?!

Actually, they realized "America Online" was a poor choice as brand name for an international service provider something like 10 years back. Over here, they tried "Europe Online" for a while, then just dropped the explanation and simply became "AOL" (never spelled out).

Do they still use the old "America Online" in the US?

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)

They occasionally do, I don't really pay that much attention to the ads.
