0:47 It's pronounced /ɹɪˈsiːt/. The silent P was never pronounced in English. It was just added to highlight the word's Latin etymology. 1:12 It's pronounced /ˈsæmən/. Again, the silent L was just added to highlight the word's Latin etymology. It is sometimes pronounced in Southern American English. 1:37 It's pronounced /ˈmʌsəl/. The C would be a double letter if the word were spelled "muscel." 2:01 It's pronounced /ˈæz(ð)mə/. The TH-sound was deleted because it was hard to pronounce. 2:22 It's pronounced /ˈɑnɪst/. The H was never pronounced in English; however, it was pronounced in French before English loaned the word. 2:39 It's pronounced /ˈaʊ̯ɚ/. The silent H has the same story as "honest"’s. 2:57 It's pronounced /ˈsʌtəl/. Its silent B has the same story as "receipt"’s silent P. 3:07 We can't spell it as "suddle" because that would be unfair to accents without t-flapping. "Suttle" would be better. 3:28 It's pronounced /daʊ̯t/. Its silent B has the same story as "subtle"’s. 3:50 It's pronounced /dɛt/. Again, its silent B has the same story as "subtle"’s. 4:08 It's pronounced /ɛd͡ʒ/. And no, the D is not silent: it's a double letter. The J sound is actually two sounds: D, then ZH. 4:49 It's pronounced /ˈhændsəm/. The D is not silent here. Only in fast speech it is deleted. 5:03 It's pronounced /ˈsændwɪt͡ʃ/. Again, the D is not silent here. Only in fast speech it is deleted. 5:14 It's pronounced /ˈwɛnzdeɪ̯/. The first D and second E were once pronounced in English. Eventually, they disappeared from the word. 5:41 It's pronounced /ˈɛkoʊ̯/. CH makes the K-sound when it comes from the Greek Χ. 6:02 These words are pronounced (from top to bottom) /kʊd/, /wʊd/, then /ʃʊd/. The L was originally pronounced, then it became silent. The OU represented /u/, which eventually became Modern English /ʊ/. 6:25 It's pronounced /hæf/. Again, the L was originally pronounced, then it disappeared. 6:43 It's pronounced /wɔːk/. Again, the L was originally pronounced, then it disappeared. 6:59 It's pronounced /ˈɹæzbɛɹi/. It comes from earlier _raspis berry,_ which had a P. 7:22 It's pronounced /aɪ̯l/. The silent S, like many silent letters, was added to highlight the word's Latin etymology. 7:46 It's pronounced /ˈaɪ̯lənd/. Again, the silent S, like many silent letters, was added to highlight the word's Latin etymology. 8:20 That's just schwa-deletion in connected speech.
