Historical pronunciation of 'daughter'?
I was told in school that it's a good example of a word from the Germanic side of English (versus the Latinate side) and that it was pronounced with a guttural gh sound. It seems logical that the progression would be from a guttural gh to an f sound to basically being elided as we have in modern pronunciation. Also that it meant "the one that milks the cows" -- good to know if you have daughters yourself. I am not a linguist. Just talking outa my butt here. Interesting question. More on reddit.com

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos pronunciation
There’s some cut content from the Blood Minister at the start of the game, and in that dialog he says “Until the dank, sweet mud takes us all - upon the awakening of Ebrietas” (which was from an earlier iteration of the story in which she presumably served a role closer to the final boss) (also, interestingly, cf. Micolash’s line of “The grand lake of mud, hidden now, from sight.”)
I think it’s the only recording made for the game of how to say her name, which is cool!
If you’re curious, according to the Blood Minister, it’s Ebrietas like rhyming with tinnitus.

r/linguistics on Reddit: Historical pronunciation of 'daughter'?
May 13, 2012 -
I recently started reading A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812, which is pretty much what it sounds like. Our gal Martha wasn't much of a speller. She used the word "dafter" and it took me a couple of pages to realize that she meant "daughter."
Was the word 'daughter' pronounced 'dafter' at the time? The idea seems strange to me, but it is spelled like laughter. Is there another explanation for why she would spell it 'dafter'?
Thanks!

Perhaps I should learn how to use IPA. Would be useful for threads like this. Anyway, I think 'daughter' might have been pronounced somewhat like that cokehead who sometimes was in the news, something Doherty. The h tended to be pronounced more like a k and that would make it similar to Dutch, Frisian and German versions of the word (dochter, tochter, Tochter). Interestlingly wikipedia says 'dochter' is the proto-Germanic version.

Is there any difference between 'doctor' and 'daughter' in pronunciation? And what is the standard American English? - Quora
Answer (1 of 10): Ignoring the presence of the /k/ sound in doctor but not in daughter, which Joseph Boyle already pointed out, in some portion of the American population the vowel in the first syllable is different.

This is the cot-caught merger, where the sounds /ɑ/ and /ɔ/ are merged—that is, people with this merger pronounce the words cot and caught the same. This merger is quite widespread—it is more common than not all over the western United States and Canada, and has made inroads in the east as well.
Map of the cot-caught merger, from the TELSUR Project.
Most people who have this merger aren’t even aware that the words cot and caught could be pronounced differently. I know this personally as I have this merger natively, and had no idea until I took a course in Linguistics in college. So, I don’t think it’s an affectation in that most people who talk this way have no idea there is a different way to pronounce the sounds.

Sounds like the cot-caught merger.
