2. English phonology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology

   The following table shows the 24 consonant phonemes found in most dialects of English, plus /x/, whose distribution is more limited. Fortis consonants are always voiceless, aspirated in syllable onset (except in clusters beginning with /s/ or /ʃ/), and sometimes also glottalized to an extent in syllable coda (most likely to occur with /t/, see T-glottalization), while lenis consonants are ...

3. List of languages by number of phonemes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by...

   Long vowels are considered to be sequences of vowels and so are not counted as phonemes. [21] Hindi: Indo-European: 44 + (5) 33 + (5) 11 [22] Hungarian: Uralic language: 39: 25 14 The vowel phonemes can be grouped as pairs of short and long vowels such as o and ó. Most of the pairs have an almost similar pronunciation and vary significantly ...

4. Syllabary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllabary

   In the linguistic study of written languages, a syllabary is a set of written symbols that represent the syllables or (more frequently) morae which make up words.. A symbol in a syllabary, called a syllabogram, typically represents an (optional) consonant sound (simple onset) followed by a vowel sound ()—that is, a CV (consonant+vowel) or V syllable—but other phonographic mappings, such as ...

5. Phoneme - Wikipedia

   Specifically they are consonant phonemes, along with /s/, while /ɛ/ is a vowel phoneme. The spelling of English does not strictly conform to its phonemes, so that the words knot, nut, and gnat, regardless of spelling, all share the consonant phonemes /n/ and /t/, differing only by their internal vowel phonemes: /ɒ/, /ʌ/, and /æ/, respectively.

6. Old English phonology - Wikipedia

   However, it is not always possible to predict whether a consonant is velar or palatal from the quality of the preceding vowel; some palatal consonants arose after the vowel i , which is unchanged by i-umlaut (as in rīċu; contrast strīcan) and for historical reasons, some words developed palatal consonants between two back vowels (as in ...

7. Assimilation (phonology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(phonology)

   Assimilation is a sound change in which some phonemes (typically consonants or vowels) change to become more similar to other nearby sounds.A common type of phonological process across languages, assimilation can occur either within a word or between words.
