 Pronouncing Vocabulary

            This pronouncing vocabulary was provided by Prof. John M. Mills, with Pres. Anthon H. Lund and Dr. James E. Talmage associated, they being a committee appointed by the Deseret Sunday School Union Board. The committee appreciates the difficulty of getting the correct pronunciation of these words and submits this list solely in the interest of uniformity. Where there were not serious reasons in favor of changing the established pronunciation of certain words, it has been allowed to stand. Euphony in English, ease in translation into other languages, and possible conflicts with other proper names, have been kept in mind throughout. Wherever Bible names occur, the Biblical pronunciation has been preserved.
