Transliteration of weekday  Shmone  Esre.

 

In this transliteration we used “CH” combination for sounds “כ” and ”ח”. The pronunciation of these sounds is not similar at all to the usual pronunciation of CH. Rather, it is similar to strong H a sound somewhere between H and K. For this reason, some use “KH” to represent this sound, and others simply use “H.” Compare for example the various spellings of the name Chaim – Khaim – Hayim. In our transliteration, we used the letter “E” for its sound in word “red”, and the letter “I” for its sound in the word “sit”. We also used in most cases ‘ (apostrophe) for the vowel “Shva Na”. Its’ sound is like a very short “E”.
