Ah, but which pronunciation? English has quite a few...


Probably the one that's used by most words. English pronunciation and spelling seem to depend on the word's etymology. I'll try and derive a spelling system that results in least changes to the current vocabulary.

Edit: if you meant which dialect, it will be whatever grapheme->phoneme ruleset I get a hold of.
