Ough is a letter sequence often seen in words in the English language. In Middle English, where the spelling arose, it was probably pronounced with a back rounded vowel and a velar fricative, e.g., [oːx] or [uːx]. It is by far the sequence of letters with the most unpredictable pronunciation, having at least six pronunciations in North American English and over ten in British English. A few of the more common are:
/uː/ as in "through" (cf. true). /ɔː/ as in "thought" (cf. taut). /oʊ/ as in "though" (cf. toe). /ɒf/ as in "cough" (cf. coffin). /ʌf/ as in "rough" (cf. ruffian). /aʊ/ as in "bough" (cf. to bow). /ə/ as in "thorough" (cf. about) [British English].
