A word or phrase that had been borrowed from one language into another language is the word ” cat”. The word “cat” is spelled as a cat in the English language. however, in the phonetics language, it is spelled as “kaet” and the ae is connected to each other. in the donor language cat, it is pronounced as “Kat”. in the borrowing language the word cat is pronounced as “k ah t”. In the phonetics language, the ae connected letter is pronounced as ah, the c sound sounds like the letter k, and the t remains the same. As one can see this is why the word cat is spelled as kaet in phonetics. the difference between the donor and borrowing is the spelling rather than the pronunciation because the pronunciation is still the same. the pronunciations between the donor and the borrowing are the same in this example. however in different languages when it comes to the phonetics alphabet the words may be pronounced differently. some letters and words will be different which leads to such pronunciations being different.
