John 1:1 Aramaic Text Pronunciation
#2
Excellent SS.

Here's a phonetic spelling if you want to practice reciting according to the eastern pronunciation (remember that some letters are silent, as in English).

I've separated syllables with a dash (-). Try a short pause when you encounter the syllable break.

In words with more than one syllable, usually one of the syllables is stressed. I've included an at sign (@) where the emphasis (or stress) should be. When stressed, it should be clear and firm. Unstressed syllables should be quick, and almost under your breath silent. Words with a single syllable should be stressed.

Vowels like a, i, o and e are soft, unless doubled, in which case read them in the hard pronunciation.

Bee-@ra-sheeth ith hwa @Mil-tha.
u haw @Mil-tha ith hwa lwath @Ala-ha.
u @Ala-ha ith hwa haw @Mil-tha.
