Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'distinguishable' rhymes with the target; they share the same stressed vowel and the following /stɪŋɡwɪʃəbəl/ sounds. 'Distinguish' has the same /ɡwɪʃ/ but lacks the final /əbəl/, so it does not rhyme. 'Wish' sounds like the letters 'uish' in 'guish' (/wɪʃ/), but the target has an extra /ɡ/ before it and an extra /əbəl/ after it. 'Language' shares the 'ngu' spelling /ŋɡw/ but ends in /ɪdʒ/. 'Comfortable' has the same unstressed '-able' /əbəl/ but a different stress pattern. 'Able' looks like the ending but is pronounced /ˈeɪbəl/ with a long /eɪ/, not the weak /ə/ of the suffix.
