Pronunciation & Spelling
Estonian is pronounced /ɛsˈtəʊniən/. Macedonian (/ˌmæsəˈdəʊniən/), Washingtonian (/ˌwɒʃɪŋˈtəʊniən/), Bostonian (/bɒˈstəʊniən/), and Oregonian (/ˌɒrɪˈɡəʊniən/) rhyme with it because they share the stressed /ˈəʊniən/ ending. Indian (/ˈɪndiən/) and Austrian (/ˈɒstriən/) also end in -ian in spelling but have a different vowel, so they are lookalikes, not rhymes.
