Q

O + R

A

/:ɔ/ - Port
/:ɔ/ - Short
/:ɔ/ - Born

In English, the phonetic rule for “or” is that it is typically pronounced as the diphthong /ɔr/. A diphthong is a combination of two vowel sounds within the same syllable. In this case, the diphthong /ɔr/ starts with an open-mid back rounded vowel (/ɔ/) and glides into an “r” sound.

Examples of words with “or” pronounced as /ɔr/:

“for” /fɔ:r/
“born” /bɔ:rn/
“morning” /ˈmɔ:rnɪŋ/
“port” /pɔ:rt/
“corn” /kɔ:rn/

Q

E, I,U + r

A

Normalmente se pronuncia con la schwa larga:

/ɜ:/ - Germ
/ɜ:/ - Hurt
/ɜ:/ - First

In English, when the vowels “e,” “i,” or “u” are followed by the letter “r” in the same syllable, they often create a specific vowel sound known as an “r-controlled vowel” or “r-colored vowel.” The vowel sound is influenced by the “r” and can be different from the standard sounds of “e,” “i,” or “u.” Here are the common pronunciations for each combination:

“er” as in “her”: When “e” is followed by “r” (er), it’s pronounced as the “ɜr” sound. This sound is often referred to as the “schwa + r” sound. Examples include “her” /hɜr/, “term” /tɜrm/, and “sister” /ˈsɪstər/.
“ir” as in “bird”: When “i” is followed by “r” (ir), it’s pronounced as the “ɜr” sound as well. Examples include “bird” /bɜrd/, “fir” /fɜr/, and “shirt” /ʃɜrt/.
“ur” as in “turn”: When “u” is followed by “r” (ur), it’s pronounced as the “ɜr” sound too. Examples include “turn” /tɜrn/, “hurt” /hɜrt/, and “purple” /ˈpɜrpl/.
“or” as in “fork”: In contrast to the above patterns, when “o” is followed by “r” (or), the pronunciation is a bit different. It is pronounced as the “ɔr” sound. Examples include “fork” /fɔrk/, “port” /pɔrt/, and “storm” /stɔrm/.
