--- begin quote --- TKD glosses {QIch} as “speech (vocal sounds).” The notation “(vocal sounds)” is intended to denote that “speech” here means the phenomenon of speech as opposed to an address or oration – that’s {SoQ}. So {QIch} doesn’t refer to individual speech sounds or speech sounds collectively. An individual speech sound is {QIch wab} and speech sounds collectively are {QIch wabmey}.
“Pronunciation” could be {QIch wab Ho’DoS}, more literally (but awkwardly) “speech-sound manner, speech-sound technique.” --- end quote ---
A bit more on languages: --- begin quote --- An “accent” might be {QIch wab Ho’DoS Sar} “pronunciation variety.” A “regional accent” would then be {Sep QIch wab Ho’DoS} or {Sep QIch wab Sar} or {Sep QIch wab Ho’DoS Sar}. (“Dialect,” by the way, would be {Hol Sar}; “regional dialect” is {Sep Hol Sar}.) -- end quote --- -- De'vID
