  2. U - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U

    In English, the letter u has four main pronunciations. There are "long" and "short" pronunciations. Short u , found originally in closed syllables, most commonly represents /ʌ/ (as in 'duck'), though it retains its old pronunciation /ʊ/ after labial consonants in some words (as in 'put') and occasionally elsewhere (as in 'sugar').

  3. Ŭ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ŭ

    The letter ŭ is called non-syllabic u (romanised: u nieskładovaje) in Belarusian because it resembles the vowel u but forms no syllables. It is an allophone of /v/ that forms the diphthongs aŭ, eŭ, oŭ and is equivalent to . Its Cyrillic counterpart is ў. [1] Sometimes (as in National Geographic atlases), the Cyrillic letter ў is ...

    At some point, short /u/ developed into a lax, near-close near-back rounded vowel, /ʊ/, as found in words like put. (Similarly, short /i/ has become /ɪ/.) According to Roger Lass, the laxing occurred in the 17th century, but other linguists have suggested that it may have taken place much earlier. [1] The short /o/ remaining in words like lot ...

    Contrastive use of Cyrillic kratka (for consonant [j]) and Latin breve (for short vowel [ĭ]) above и in Russian-Nenets dictionary. In Emilian, ĕ ŏ are used to represent [ɛ, ɔ] in dialects where also long [ɛː, ɔː] occur. In Esperanto, u with breve (ŭ) represents a non-syllabic u in diphthongs /u̯/, analogous to Belarusian ў.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_shorthand

    The u is a small hook that represents the sounds in strut / ʌ /, foot / ʊ /, and goose / uː /. [20] It also expresses a w at the beginning of a word. [21] In Anniversary and before, short and long vowel sounds for e, a, o and u may be distinguished by a mark under the vowel, a dot for short and a small downward tick for long sounds. [22]

  7. Spelling alphabet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_alphabet

    A spelling alphabet (also called by various other names) is a set of words used to represent the letters of an alphabet in oral communication, especially over a two-way radio or telephone. The words chosen to represent the letters sound sufficiently different from each other to clearly differentiate them.

  8. English orthography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_orthography

    The spelling indicates the insertion of /ᵻ/ before the /z/ in the spelling - es , but does not indicate the devoiced /s/ distinctly from the unaffected /z/ in the spelling - s . The abstract representation of words as indicated by the orthography can be considered advantageous since it makes etymological relationships more apparent to English ...

  9. Phonological history of English - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of...

    /u/ normally became /o/ in a final syllable except when absolutely word-final. [16] In medial syllables, short /æ, a, e/ are deleted; [17] short /i, u/ are deleted following a long syllable but usually remain following a short syllable (except in some present-tense verb forms), merging to /e/ in the process; and long vowels are shortened.
