Am I dealing with completely different pronunciation laws or something? Because to me, "Junsā" would be pronounced "jun-say", with the long a that the bar indicates--BJG
You've been entirely too far corrupted by English pronunciation. It is true, that once upon a time, the English long a was really a long a (say father. Now stretch that vowel, without changing its quality, and you get close to what a real long a is.) But, the power of sound change changed [a:] to [eI], which is its present value. (If you want to learn more, read up on the Great Vowel Shift.) - 振霖T 09:53, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Only the sound in 'father' isn't a long a, it's an 'ah' sound.
