Pronunciation for El, ei, etc.
The normal pronunciation of these words is with an initial [j] (semivocalic i). This can be verified in several dictionaries and many other linguistic works (see for instance Mioara Avram, Ortographics for everybody, 2002, page 29), and to phoneticians and other linguists is an established fact. The pronunciations [el], [ei], [este], [eram], etc. do indeed exist, but are considered hypercorrect or plain wrong.

One exception is the word eu, which is pronounced [eu] in philosophical contexts, when it becomes a noun (eul, eurile) meaning self. — Adi  Japan  05:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
