Davinci posted:Just realized that the word alphabet likely comes from "alpha beta" Yup! And Arabic and other scripts have an abjad instead, where short vowels are unmarked. The first four letters of Arabic? A - b - j - d

I knew a guy in college who could only do voiced 'th', hearing him say the word thunder set my teeth on edge. Of course, he also had a really strong NY accent, so that didn't help.

The "sin"/"sing" difference is for sure a dialectal change, with some dialects markedly having [i:] before the "ng" and some having [ɪ]. This is part of a pattern with lax vowels before velars: one of my friends has the "hay" diphthong for "egg", "leg", etc. There seems to be a tongue movement in making velars that makes preceding vowels sound more [i:]-like.
