Ortografía de la lengua española (2010). Spanish orthography is the orthography used in the Spanish language.The alphabet uses the Latin script.The spelling is fairly phonemic, especially in comparison to more opaque orthographies like English, having a relatively consistent mapping of graphemes to phonemes; in other words, the pronunciation of a given Spanish-language word can largely be ...
Only the trill can occur at the start of a word (e.g. el rey 'the king', la reina 'the queen') or in the middle of a word after /l/, /n/, /s/ (e.g. alrededor, enriquecer, desratizar) or more generally, after any syllable-final (coda) consonant. Only the tap can occur after a word-initial obstruent consonant (e.g. tres 'three', frío 'cold').
The International Phonetic Alphabet is occasionally modified by the Association. After each modification, the Association provides an updated simplified presentation of the alphabet in the form of a chart. (See History of the IPA.) Not all aspects of the alphabet can be accommodated in a chart of the size published by the IPA.
The acute accent (/ ə ˈ k j uː t /), ́, is a diacritic used in many modern written languages with alphabets based on the Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. For the most commonly encountered uses of the accent in the Latin and Greek alphabets, precomposed characters are available.
Ewellic alphabet - consonants with phonetic transcription. The Ewellic script (pronounced yoo-WELL-ik) was invented by Doug Ewell in 1980 as a way to represent the pronunciation of English and other languages without the precision of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). [1]
The Academia Dominicana de la Lengua [1] (variously translated as the Dominican Academy of Language, the Dominican Academy of the Language, the Dominican Academy of Letters, or glossed as the Dominican Academy of the Spanish Language; acronym ADL) is the Dominican Republic's correspondent academy of the Royal Spanish Academy.
Several diacritics serve to modify the pronunciation of the letters of the Occitan alphabet. The grave accent (accent grèu) _̀ found on à, è, ò, indicates stressed, close vowels. [citation needed] The acute accent (accent agut) _́ found on á, é, í, ó, ú, indicates stressed, open vowels. [citation needed]
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) can be used to represent sound correspondences among various accents and dialects of the English language. These charts give a diaphoneme for each sound, followed by its realization in different dialects. The symbols for the diaphonemes are given in bold, followed by their most common phonetic values.
