The Pronunciation Key is located at Oxford Learners Dictionaries, with some changes/correction in the transcription:

  • /ʌ/ sound like /ə/, but for some reason people writte one when is stressed and other when its not (compare About and bUtter, /əˈbaʊt ˈbʌt̮ər/ according to that dictionary, /əˈbaʊ̯t ˈbətəɹ/ according to usual pronunciation), so will be use /ə/ for both;
  • a correction for June [ˈdʒʉwn], often written as /ˈdʒuːn/ that will be used /uw/;
  • a correction for R sound (like in Red), usually pronunciated as [ɹ̠ʷ] and will be used /ɹ/;
  • added a breve sign (◌̯) in the the weak part of the diphthongs.
  • also added an optional, like /i(j)/, that you could or not pronunciate.

Many pronunciations are taken from an email reply by Tom[1]

    Here's how I pronounce them, as best as I can write it. Though I always say anyone is entitled to their own way of saying them. Several of the names are actual words. and pronounced the same way, so I provided the dictionary entry which includes a pronunciation button.

    I starred the ones that might be different from how you seemed to indicate.

    K'eye-dran
    Bass-seh-tin
    Add-drah-kist
    Eff-fem-mur-ral, See here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/ephemeral
    Ed-mund S'eye-rus
    Brahn, like brawn. See here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/brawn
    *You-Kerr, like someone from an old timey movie say "you cur!" Again see here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/euchre
    *Ver-rah
    *Sah-ree'ah ow Grew'en
    *Nah-Tah-Knee (it's sort of Native American-y)
    Rod-d'rick Vahn
    E'vahls
    Nick-o-lie Al-ler-rick
    Mad-dah-lehn Add-dah-lay These names are pronounced just like how the names are normally pronounced. Like Adelaide, the city (and person).
    Rose-lehn
    *Ah-deer-ah
    M'ay'v
    Sea-lean

    Hope that helps!
