SIGNS RELATING TO ORTHOEPY.

The method of giving the pronunciation of the names in this Gazetteer by means of English signs and representations is explained in the following remarks:

1. Each name is separated into syllables, which represent the Spanish or native sound, as the case may be.

2. An acute accent is placed after the syllable which should be pronounced more forcibly than the others.

3. Whenever possible, the Spanish or native sound is represented by monosyllable words very common in English.

4. Otherwise the representation is made as f llows:

5. In the English representations g is always hard, as in give; th must be pronounced as in thin, and ch as in chill.

6. When two or more names with the same spelling occur in succession, and the pronunciation of the first only is given, it is intended as a general rule that all shall be pronounced alike.

7. English names should be pronounced as in English.
