Chaucer's Middle English Help

When pronouncing consonants, pronounce those that have become silent
in Modern English:

pronounce all of them. Yes! Kind of as the French knights in Monty
Python's The Holy Grail do!
say gh with lots of breath, like the ch in German ich;
say the l before an f;
say the w before an r.
Sound Examples

Knyght
Write
Gnawen
Halve

A few additional things about consonants to keep in mind:

ch as in chivalrie always has the sound in church;
gg usually represents a hard g, but in words where the Modern English
equivalent has a sound like that in judge it is pronounced as in
Modern English;
the ending -ion or -ioun is always said with two syllables, never like shun;
roll R's.
always pronounce s's as in hiss, not as a z
Sound Examples

Chivalrie
Juggen
Passioun
Resoun
Has
