Tips for natural speech
- Preserve accents and diacriticsAlways include marks like the deelteken (ë) and kappie (ê) to guide accurate vowel lengths and natural rhythm.
- Format numbers and currency intentionallyWhile common numerals are pronounced automatically, writing out Rand amounts or years can help maintain regional flow.
- Shape pacing with punctuationUse commas and periods thoughtfully to create realistic breath pauses and prevent long compound words from sounding rushed.
