Why switzerland rhymes the way it does
Switzerland sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 13,999, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With switzerland, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
