Book Description
This dictionary provides the key to correct pronunciation for more than 28,000 names that are frequently encountered in speech and reading, including personal and place names, brand names, names of businesses, breeds of animals, and other categories missing from most dictionaries. 5,000 new entries have been added to this new edition. Entries are briefly identified and current English pronunciations are given, both in simplified phonetic respelling and in a formal transcription. In many cases, alternative or variant pronunciations that may be considered as acceptable are also shown.
