of the language and which are not. This knowledge is often revealed way speakers
of one language pronounce words from another language. If you speak only English,
for example, you may (and usually do) substitute an English sound for a non-English
sound when pronouncing “foreign” words. How many of you pronounce the name
Bach with a final k sound? This is not the German pronunciation. The sound repre-

begins these words is not part of the French sound system, and the French mispro-
nunciation reveals their unconscious knowledge of this fact.

Ghana was Nkrumah. Ghanaians pronounced this name with an initial sound
identical to the sound ending the English word sing (for most Americans). But most
English speakers, including radio announcers, would start the word with a short
