Maybe, but the spelling should still make sense phonetically.

It does.

If you want it to be pronounced "a-SER-ur-ack" you should spell it Aseryurack.

That’s definitely not phonetically correct. The Y would either make it “a-SER-yur-ack” or “a-SER-ee-ur-ack” depending on if the T is being used a consonant or a long e.

 

[Charlaquin]

A-cer-er-ak is completely different to a-SER-ur-ack! You can't pronounce an e as a u!

It depends on context. English vowels can make lots of different sounds, and there is overlap between many of them, which can make phonetic spelling tricky, especially for people with different dialects. In the International Phonetic Alphabet it’d be [ɚ]. Er is closer to that, but ur, while not precisely the same, would sound almost indistinguishable in most American accents.

Also, repeated er-er sounds like a stammer.

Yes it does.

a-SER-yur-ack is identical to a-SER-ur-ack!

ur sounds like your.

er sounds like air.

 

[briggart]

I though it was pronounced Aserejé

 

[Remathilis]

Not really. A-cer-er-ak

It's pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove".

 

[Parmandur]

Not in England.

In Wisconsin, considerably moreso.

I never really noticed the accents of some of my cousins once removed up in far northern Wisconsin... and then I watched Drop Dead Gorgeous (granted about a state one over) and I can't unhear it.

It all seemed fairly normal to me as a child, and my family is more from the southwest of the state...but my grandmother never could pronounce "th" sounds, and vowels are very different.
