This is made from public "The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary", in which, I exchanged the input(=spelling) for the output(=pronunciation), and further, sprinkled the salad-dressing over them.
AsifSound is a grouping phonetic abstract symbol which consists of 12 characters.
From the statistics of below CMU pronouncing American spoken English dictionary, the maximum[NaKSaNaN] number of conflict elements in the same AsifSound is about 250 at most. And such case is very few. In general[DaNaLaL], the longer the string length of AsifSound, the less the number of its elements. Hence, the longer, the easier to find the word. But, HaLP has the only one element HELP, it's the exceptional[aKSaPSaNaL] interesting fact ( "Help" is a special[SPaSaL] important[aNPaTaNT] word, perhaps?! cf. FaLP has 2 members.).
Please do enjoy[aNDa] yourself with this index toy!! You may pronounce "Asif" as "azi:f" containing "zi"+long vowel sound. This dictionary is a freeware, but I don't allow using for a commercial[KaNaSaL] purpose, now.
To suggest the common/popular words or pronunciations to add, please tell me. Email:
imai-imai@mri.biglobe.ne.jp.
I'd like to add those new words & your English name as a donor for memorial. Its voluntary[BaLaNTaLa] work is my pleasure[PLaDa].
