The German term is hardly a spelling pronunciation. Fashion terms are less frequently picked up from writing. Rather German may or may not reflect the sound resulting from the in borrowings, depending also on individual speakers’s prowess to even produce the sound [ʌ], which is heard less often in older Germany and thus more often not present in borrowings in favour of [ʊ] (→ Dschungel?); but still in the 21st century English words affected by the split pass into German with [ʊ], only that the modern prescriptivists and pedagogue sons won’t tell you about em, as like in the British Isles it is low-class and of ephemeral production, so it will be ignored in the records that the German pornwhore shouts [ˈkʰʊkʰoːlt], as public voice has become more uppity with the stammtisch rarefied (earlier communication was more favourable to [ʊ]).

If actually having picked up from English writing, the German probably knew the sound value [ʌ] behind ⟨u⟩, yet one has chosen [ʊ] anyway in spite of the vocabulary obviously not being an English inheritance. (Also → Dschungel? One has left unanswered in this wiki this detail, that I have forgotten, of whether this is an oral of papyral borrowing, but the result would be the same.))

On the other hand, concerning the claim of the English being a pronunciation spelling, is there a borrowing from a foreign-script language that is not pronunciation spelling? How else to spell then with regard to pronunciation? If we adapt a word into a language, by definitions its scribal approximations of and for its phonological system apply.

Both terms are senselessly applied, as those historians of antiquity did, who would rather introduce a figure of speech than give a true account of the state of things. Fay Freak (talk) 23:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
