Note: Bible words are included that appear in at least one English Bible version or translation. Not every proper noun in the Bible is included in this chart. Words in the WORD column followed by an asterisk* are non-biblical words with a historical or religious connection. The words in the PHONETIC column followed by one asterisk* are the closest match to the audio pronunciations available on the current Watchtower Library CD in English; the words followed by two asterisks** are the closest match to the pronunciations available on the audio version of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures; and (beginning in 2008) the words followed by three asterisks*** are the closest match to the pronunciations available on the audio versions of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines. Regarding the Pronunciation Feature on the Watchtower Library CD, the Help file states: “There may be variations to these pronunciations that are also correct.” Clicking on the pilcrow (paragraph symbol) enclosed in parentheses  (¶) following a phonetic pronunciation will link to a dictionary with an audio pronunciation.
