Orange in South America

Apr 29, 2007 02:05

Me and gooooyaffa were discussing the word 'orange' and it's history, and so we'd like to know how those of you who speak South American varieties of Spanish pronounce the words for orange: the color, the tree, and the fruit. They're probably similar, but for consistency's sake I thought I'd ask for all. IPA preferable, but feel free to describe it ( Read more... )

guaraní, south america, orange, spanish

First of all, guarani is not a dialect, it' s a language.
About the question, in guarani we have the aspired sound of "H" like the chi in greek (kh) , written with the letter "H", so the word naranja is borrowed from spanish, but written in the guarani alphabet. NA-RAN-HA instead of naranja.
The"ĝ" denotes a nasal sound in the pronunciation, so the sound of the guttural consonant of (kh), when nasal, becomes (g:).

"Mata" means tree, or bush in spanish.
So naranja mata is an orange tree.
For the color in paraguay we say "naranjado" or "anaranjado"

Didn't say it was a dialect; I know well that it is a separate language.

Do you think you would pronounce the word "orange" (naranja/naranha) the same in guarani as in spanish?

Yes, it's possible to pronounce like in spanish, actually there are diferents accents of guarani, depends on if you live in a rural area or in a city, or in the capital or in another city.
that gutural/nasal pronunciation is characteristic of the rural areas.
