By the terms of Dick Oakes: Hungarian Pronunciation Guide, the spellings are:
Sz = s as in skip
E = e as in set
R = slightly rolled once - but be careful: it must say a simple and not double r!
E = look at upper
CS = ch as in chug
E = look at upper
NY = ny as in canyon (for my Hungarian ears this voice is very similar to the first voice of new)
Otherwise the szerecsen/szerecsen means arabic (born from the word saracen)
In the word Széchenyi, the new voices are:
É = e as in grey
CH = similar to Cs
I = i as in machine
The American pronunciation is not the same like by the standard English.....
Have a ggood results!
