SAY CLEVELYN!!!!!

If a linguist were to pronounce my name Clevelyn using phonetic symbols it would sound like [klivəlɪn]. Where the

first character "c" will sound like the sound "k" which is velar stop and voiceless. The second letter "L" would be

pronounced as normal. The third letter "e" will be pronounces as "i", followed by the sound "v".Then you will

pronounce the second "e" as "ə" followed by another "l". The "y" in my name as "ɪ". Lastly, the letter "n".

[klivəlɪn]

For a non-linguist to pronounce my name "Clevelyn" they would start off by putting the tip of their tongue to the roof

of their mouth to make the "Cl" or "KL" sound demonstrated in figure 1. Then close their teeth to make the "e"

sound like in "me" shown in figure 2. Then they should put their top teeth on their bottom lip to make the "v" sound.

The second "e" is silent like the "e" in above. The  letters "lyn" is pronounced by using your tongue and upper area of

the mouth than releasing the sound so it flows.
