HOME SITE MAP ABOUT THE MUSEUM FEEDBACK OPPORTUNITIES LINKS
To the non-native speaker, the proper
pronunciation of words in a foreign language may be a daunting task. Many
of us can remember traveling to a foreign country and trying
unsuccessfully to communicate with others in their native tongue. Here,
an effort has been made to aid those interested in learning the correct
pronunciation of various town and city names, as spoken by those native to
that particular country. These lists will be augmented and new lists will
be added over time. The pronunciations for the locations in Romania and Moldova have been placed within a single sound "clip" (a wav file.) Each name is spoken once, and is then repeated several seconds later. You may be able to pause, go forwards or backwards, or even play it again depending on your computer's media player. It should be noted that the Romanian language is spoken in both Romania and Moldova. The particular towns and cities listed below have been chosen because their names appear within the museum's website. Left-click onto the earphones icon to begin the recording. |
