Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these rhyme with regionalism, whose stress is on the first syllable /riː/, because the following sounds differ. All six share the spelling and unstressed ending -ism /ɪzəm/. Realism begins with /riː/ like regionalism, but the next sound is /l/ rather than /dʒ/, so it is a useful lookalike, not a rhyme.
