Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with /ˈlæŋɡwəd/. Rapid /ˈræpɪd/ shares the stressed /æ/ but not the ending. Liquid /ˈlɪkwɪd/ and squalid /ˈskwɒlɪd/ look similar in the final -id / -uid spelling but sound different; languish /ˈlæŋɡwɪʃ/, language /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/ and languor /ˈlæŋɡər/ share the initial “langu” spelling but not the final sound. Use /ˈlæŋɡwəd/ as the model.
