Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with /ˈlæŋɡwɪdli/. Languid shares /ˈlæŋɡwɪd/ but adds a final /li/. Rapidly shares the unstressed ending /ɪdli/ but has a different stressed vowel. Languor (/ˈlæŋɡər/) and language (/ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/) look similar at the start but sound different, especially languor's missing /wɪ/.
