[nyong]

Indonesian is one of the easiest languages I know. No kidding.


Let's start with the pronunciation, shall we?

vowels:
a, i, u, o are pronounced like in Spanish.

e has two pronunciations:
1) like in Spanish.
2) schwa, which, unlike English, can be stressed in Indonesian.

I'll write é for the Spanish e and e for the schwa.


consonants:
b, d, f, g, h, j, l, m, n, s, w, x, y, z are pronounced like in English.

Unlike English, but like in Spanish, k, p, t are not aspirated.

Unlike English, v sounds exactly like f.

c = ch in chair
ng = like the ng in singer, never like in finger, in which case it would be spelt as "fingger" in Indonesian
ny = ñ in español


word stress:
Indonesian words are generally stressed on the last syllable.


Now taking the words legionsa provided:
kerén = cool
