The French words in Middle French were already similar to the Modern version in the grapheme (writing format). However, there are major differences in the pronunciation. Some words that might look the same (as in spelling) as the Modern French, have different pronunciations, and it is important to distinguish them, and illustrate them in the voice recording. While recording, I need to pay particular attention to the \/r\/ which is more pronounced as an uvular trill (Spanish phonetic) than the modern voiced uvular fricative, the diphthongs, the palatals, and the word endings. For example, the \/g\/ was pronounced as the affricate \/dz\/ in Middle French, but the \/g\/ is pronounced as \/z\/ in Modern French. Furthermore, the final \/s\/ was still pronounced in the text, as well as most of the word endings (e.g &#8220;Charles&#8221;) In the words King Charles, the \/s\/ at the end of Charles need to be emphasized and not avoided. Also, I already witnessed some letters in word-medial positions that are not pronounced. They indicate the losses that will eventually occur, as the language evolves to the Modern form. Most importantly, in Old\/ Middle French, the vowel \u201ce\u201d at the end of each word was still pronounced, but in modern version of French, the \u201ce\u201d at the end is not pronounced. For instance, the word \u201cclose\u201d, even though it does not have the accent marking at the end of the vowel \u201ce\u201d as in \u201c\u00e9\u201d, it still need to be pronounced. Many Old French diphthongs and triphthongs were transitioning from their Classical Latin pronunciations to their Modern French pronunciations: \u201ceu\u201d (not including as in \u201cDieu\u201d) pronounced as [ew], \u201cau\u201d as [aw], and \u201caux\u201d as [awks]. Additionally, oral \u201coi\u201d pronounced as [\u0254j], nasal \u201coi\u201d pronounced as [\u00f5j], and \u00a0oral \u201ci\u00e9\u201d as [je]. Moreover, nasal \u201cie\u201d pronounced as as [j\u1ebd], \u201cou\u201d as [\u0254w], \u00a0\u201cei\u201d as [\u1ebdj]. Also, oral \u201cue\u201d pronounced as [we], \u00a0nasal \u201cue\u201d as [w\u1ebd]. And, \u201cai\u201d pronounced as [aj], and \u201cieu\u201d as [jew]. Last but not least, the words that are connecting need to be pronounced as connected, same with Modern French. For instance, \u201ctristement en\u201d, there is not a separation in front of the word \u201cen\u201d, and the letter \u201ct\u201d in \u201cment\u201d need to be carried forward, and connect with \u201cen\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lulu I Je, Christine, qui ay plour\u00e9 XI ans en abbaye close, O\u00f9 j&#8217;ay tousjours puis demour\u00e9 Que Charles (c&#8217;est estrange chose!), Le filz du roy, se dire l&#8217;ose, S&#8217;en fouy de Paris de tire, Par la tra\u00efson l\u00e0 enclose, Ore \u00e0 prime me prens \u00e0 rire; II A rire bonement de joie Me prens &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/2019\/03\/28\/audio-recording-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Audio Recording<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":635,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lulu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/635"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":685,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184\/revisions\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/historyoftheromancelanguages2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
