### Pali
### English homographs
The pronunciation of the following words is determined by grammatical context.
The Amazon Web Services Polly service generally does a good job with homographs.
However it sometimes gets them wrong. Here is a list of known homographs that cause
problems. Mispronounced homographs can only be fixed by Amazon.
* content
* learned
* lives
* perfumes
* desires
* bows
* unaging
### English other mispronunciations (Amy)
* DN 24 #SC 1.18.20: Amy mispronounces *shameless* (quite noticeably pronouncing the “e” in the middle of the word).
### English other mispronunciations (Raveena)
* "keeping what they’ve learned" - says "earned". *This is an [AWS bug](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=297531) with no current resolution*
* "marriages"; ([example](https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html?r=0.009784745629357494#/sutta?search=dn1%2Fen%2Fbodhi): DN1, Bodhi, 6/21, 61/94).
* Hilariously, `:)` (as per: `(He recalls:) ‘Then I…` ) is read as "smile"; ([example](https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html?r=0.009784745629357494#/sutta?search=dn1%2Fen%2Fbodhi): DN1, Bodhi, 7/21, 7/20).
* "Almighty"; ([example](https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html?r=0.009784745629357494#/sutta?search=dn1%2Fen%2Fbodhi): DN1, Bodhi, 8/21, 7/25).
* "unsatisfactoriness"; ([example](https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html?r=0.009784745629357494#/sutta?search=dn1%2Fen%2Fbodhi): DN1, Bodhi, 8/21, 24/25).
* "rationalist", and "investigations" (I think Raveena, might be keen for us to start non-English support with French ;-) ); ([example](https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html?r=0.9015558486968711#/sutta?search=dn1%2Fen%2Fbodhi): DN1, Bodhi, 9/21, 12/14).
### Deutsche Aussprachefehler
#### Kontextbezogen (Vicki)
- „Erwachens“, wie in „Faktoren des Erwachens“, wenn es das letzte Wort des Satzes ist; [Beispiel](https://54.67.25.233/scv/audio/an10.61/de/sabbamitta/Vicki/2ece35f33a7ef70ece3cfb83e14c3d21); [Gegenbeispiel mit korrekter Aussprache](https://54.67.25.233/scv/audio/an10.61/de/sabbamitta/Vicki/a679eefc27fbbb35c22686ea4e8393b7).
#### Andere (Vicki)
- „Lehrreden“, wie in „Nummerierte Lehrreden 5“, wird „Lehrredden“ ausgesprochen.
