Dictionary of Cued Speech
for American English
Preface
The NCSA’s Dictionary of Cued Speech for American English is intended to be a useful reference for those
seeking to apply the Cued Speech system to American English. It contains roughly 1000 words that,
taken together, illustrate the fundamental principles of the Cued Speech system.
Notes on pronunciation
The pronunciation(s) listed for each word reflect the dialectical variations of Standard American English
and are consistent with other online dictionaries of American English such as those provided by MerriamWebster (http://www.merriam-webster.com) and Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/). If
your dialect differs from Standard American English, you may cue some words differently from what
appears in this dictionary. However, it is worth noting that many such dialectical variations are best
represented by a subtle change in mouthshape without a change in the accompanying cue (since each
cue represents a “family” of related speech sounds). As a result, dialectical variations (outside those
listed in this dictionary) that require an alternate representation in Cued Speech are somewhat rare; for
such cases, we recommend consulting an experienced Cued Speech instructor to confirm the Cued
Speech representation of your dialect.
For your convenience, pronunciations are listed in two formats: Funetik Spelling and IPA. A
pronunciation key (sample words and corresponding cues) for each set of symbols is provided in Cued
Speech charts at the end of this document.
• Funetik Spelling Chart – p. 33
• International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) Chart – p. 34
Notes on cue notation
The cue sequence(s) listed for each word are represented in cue notation, which assigns a number to
each handshape (1–8, see Cued Speech Chart ) and a letter of the alphabet to each placement (“m” for
mouth, “c” for chin, “t” for throat, “s” for side, “sf” for side-forward, and “sd” for side-down). For
example, cue notation for the word “hammer” would be 3t5m, indicating that the appropriate cue
sequence for the word is handshape 3 at the throat placement followed by handshape 5 at the mouth
placement.
In the dictionary, spaces are used between cues for clarity and ease of use. Note, however, that when
cue notation is used to transcribe multiword sequences, spaces are typically reserved for marking word
or phrase boundaries. For example, a longer sequence would be written this way.

How to read the dictionary
The dictionary has four columns. Entries (words) are displayed in the first column, with the
corresponding pronunciations in the second and third columns (2nd: Funetik Spelling, 3rd: IPA) and cue
sequences (in cue notation) in the fourth column.
If a word has more than one pronunciation, each pronunciation is listed on a separate line. This is
illustrated in the example below; two pronunciations are possible for the word “burrito.”

For a given pronunciation, parentheses (or square brackets for IPA) are used to represent acceptable
variations in the phoneme/cue sequence, associated with dialect or convention. For example, the word
“body” can be cued as 4sf 1m or 4sf 1t, depending on the convention used to represent the final
phoneme in the word. In the dictionary, these variations are denoted 4sf 1m(1t), as shown below.

Some words have multiple sets of parentheses within them. In such cases, any combination of
phonemes/cues noted is acceptable, as long as the cue sequence represents the cuer’s dialect and
pronunciation of the word. In the example below, there are four possible cue sequences for the word
“division”: 1t 2t 1t 4s, 1sd 2t 1t 4s, 1t 2t 1sd 4s, 1sd 2t 1sd 4s.
