RASHEEDA
/rᴂ ʃi dᴂ/
To my fellow linguistic colleagues the first syllable of my name “RASHEEDA” has a onset of a voiced alveolar liquid with a rhyme of a the low, central unstressed (schwa) vowel, “ra”. The next syllable has a voiceless palatal fricative onset with rhyme of a high, front vowel “ʃi”. The final syllable has the onset of voiced, alveolar stops with the rhyme of a low, central vowel, “da”.
Some time later
Huh, you want to know how to pronounce my name, well you start by raising your tongue toward the palate in the back of the mouth to make an “r” sound and then make a “a” sound, then again raise your tongue to your palate to make a “sh” sound with an “ē” sound, and finally let your tongue hit alveolar ridge to make a “d” sound, followed by an “a” sound.
RAH -SHEE -DAH
Did that help?
