The word that I will be using is guru. This word was borrowed from the Sanskrit language for the English language. In the donor language, this word is pronounced as gu-ru (guːruː). In the borrowing language, it is pronounced as GOOR-oo (ɡʊˌru). There is a difference between the two pronunciations. In the donor language (Sanskrit), guru is said much quicker than it is in English. In English (borrowing language), the letters g and u are exaggerated (said like “goo”) and held while then transitioning to the letter r. The letter r is also somewhat exaggerated as well. After that, the letters r and u are also exaggerated (said like “roo”). Notice that most words beginning with the letters g and u are not said like this in English. This could be due to the fact that we tend to stress certain letters or symbols when we talk. In this case, the letter u was very stressed, although the letter r was also slightly stressed as well.
