The English Language Spelled As Pronounced is a book written by George Withers in 1874. The book introduces a unique approach to spelling in the English language. Withers argues that the traditional spelling of English words is confusing and inconsistent, making it difficult for learners to understand the language. To solve this problem, he proposes a new system of spelling based on the pronunciation of words. In this new system, each distinct sound in the English language is represented by a specific letter. Withers introduces an enlarged alphabet of forty letters, with each letter corresponding to a distinct element in the language. This alphabet includes new letters such as th and ng to represent common sounds in English that do not have their own letters in the traditional alphabet.The book contains detailed explanations of the new spelling system, along with examples of how it can be used to spell words correctly based on their pronunciation. Withers argues that this new system will make it easier for learners to understand and use the English language, and will also simplify the process of learning to read and write.Overall, The English Language Spelled As Pronounced is a pioneering work in the field of English language learning and linguistics. It presents a unique and innovative approach to spelling that challenges traditional methods and offers a new way of understanding and using the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
