Learn How To Pronounce “Peskotomuhkati”
- Play the clip back (which is by Elder and Language Keeper, Dolly Apt)
- Repeat out loud several times:
- BesGo-toh-moo-Gadi (hard G) = Peskotomuhkati
- BesKo-toh-moo-Kadi (soft K) = Peskotomuhkati
- BesGo-toh-moo-Gadi (hard G) = Peskotomuhkati
- Repeat until you start to get it, then move on. Both “soft K” and “hard G” pronunciations are acceptable, you’ll find the one that works for your tongue.
