Pronunciation

The name starts in Arabic, as every Arabic word with a consonant, but which is usually not written in German, when it comes to Hamza or Ain. In this case, it is written to Ain, unconnected ع, which is a voiced sound Kehl Press [ ʕ ] and for ordinary German hard to articulate. He eclipsed any subsequent vowel in direction "a ", hence the letters "o ", which roughly corresponds to the pronunciation of the phoneme "u" to Ain. However, most [u ] is written in the phonetic transcription.

The ث "th" ( " Ti - Eitsch " ) is pronounced in correct Arabic pronunciation highly voiceless [ θ ]. In most Arabic dialects today lack this voiceless "th", as according to law, usually to " t". Only in book words replace most Arabic -speaking this " th" by "s", similar to the many German do in English. The pronunciation of "t" is hardly widespread, which suggests that the name for a long time among Arabs was not used very often. The word Ottoman Ottoman for the German, however, has received pronunciation as "t".

The "a " is to speak with correct pronunciation of Arabic long and usually wear the print accent of the word. The correct Arabic pronunciation is thus [ ʕuθma ː n] or [ ʕɔθma ː n].

In Turkish there is no " th", and the name is " Osman " written and spoken.
