发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words above share the spelling pattern '-alt' (or '-ault' for vault) but their pronunciations vary; only malt, salt, halt, and vault share the /ɔlt/ sound, while falter has an extra final /ər/ and Alta uses a different vowel (/æ/ or /ɑ/). There are no perfect rhymes with Malta (/ˈmɔltə/) because of the final schwa; however, in non-rhotic accents, falter may sound similar.
