Re: [meteorite-list] How do you pronounce Muonionalusta?
Most of the Finnish dialects spoken in the Province of Lapland are of the Northern Finnish dialect group, which are also spoken in Sweden and northern Norway. The Sámi language has had a great influence on the vocabulary of these dialects. Sámi words have been loaned for depicting nature, reindeer husbandry and northern living conditions. There have often not been suitable words in Finnish for certain phenomenon of northern nature. Many local place names in the region are of Sámi origin and have through the years changed into names that are easier for Finns pronounce. Some examples of words like these are: kaltio, kero, lompolo, mella, muonio, vuoma and vuontis. So Muonio is a place http://www.muonio.fi/web/index.php?id=3 Alusta is usually something like undersite or base Muonionalusta = base / undersite of Muonio Mu- like Mu(lligan) o- like (t)o(p) ni- like (mo)ney on = on a- like (b)u(t) lus- like (Tel)lus ta like Ta(nya) It may be easier with some Highland Park, like Thomas says ;-) Well, perhaps it´s better, I`ll upload a voice-file to my site, just have to find my mic first... best, pekka s Thomas Österberg kirjoitti: Hi Richard, Muonionalusta is pronounced quite close to it's spelling with some focus on the first part Muon.

Re: [meteorite-list] How do you pronounce Muonionalusta?
Hi all, I got some interesting responses to this question. ten Two were posted to the list and those I'll repeat first. Thomas Österberg wrote on the list: Muonionalusta is pronounced quite close to it's spelling with some focus on the first part Muon. Pekka Savolainen wrote on the list: Mu- like Mu(lligan) o- like (t)o(p) ni- like (mo)ney on = on a- like (b)u(t) lus- like (Tel)lus ta like Ta(nya) I also got two directly, but I didn't ask permission to say who sent them to me so they'll stay anonymous. One pronounced it - Moo onion alusta and the other - Moon-e-o-nah-loosta Finally, I got this email from someone who asked to remain completely anonymous, but since they are a native Finnish speaker, I thought that this is probably the closest one to correct. I'm not an expert on linguistics and certainly not on the dialect spoken in the Muonionalusta area but as a native Finnish speaker I can offer this. First, Muonionalusta comprises two words. Muonio and alusta. Muonio is a town a few km north-east on the Finnish side of the border. Alusta means 'below' or 'under'. Muonionalusta is downstream from Muonio, which is logical enough. Second, the name has four syllables. Muo-nion-alus-ta. Stress is on the first with just a hint of stress on the third (it being the first syllable in alusta). Lastly, Finnish is written exactly (to all practical intent) as it is spoken. This means that each phonem is represented by one letter in the alphabet, so Finnish has very few digraphs and no the need for the complicated rules and agreements on how each word should be pronounced that we see in many other languages. I could try to describe to you how each letter and syllable should be pronounced, but to keep this as straightforward as possible, I prepared an audio file http://clayhole.com/muonionalusta.wav The technical quality of the recording isn't the best and I also have a slight head cold. But this should be close enough for a cigar.
