How many vowel sounds in the Russian language - we study the Great and the Mighty
As you know, in our Great and Mighty 33 letters- 10 vowels and 23 consonants. Vowels are those sounds that are pronounced exclusively with the help of lips and tongue. The flow of air when pronouncing such sounds does not meet obstacles in the oral cavity, so vowels are always clean, they can be sung. But in their classification, everything is not so simple. The basis of this division are two groups of vowel sounds: conventional and iotated. Common vowels include a, o, u, y, e, s. To iotirovannymi - I, y, e, e. Thus, the question of how many vowel sounds in the Russian language, the answer will be 6 ordinary and 4 iotated sounds.
Sounds and letters in Russian sometimes correlatevery unusual. So, in a word there can be 5 letters and 6 sounds. An example of such a word is a berry. If we perform a phonetic analysis, we have the following result: [yagoda].
Consonant letters are also divided into several categories: sonorous, deaf, sizzling and sonorous.
Deaf consonant sounds form pairs with voiced ones. In other words, when a voiced consonant stands at the end of a word or in front of a deaf consonant, it is pronounced as corresponding to it deaf. Such pairs of 6: ж-ш, в-ф, д-т, б-п, г-к, з-с.
It is not hard to guess what sounds are calledhissing. Those, in the pronunciation of which air passes through the oral cavity in such a way that hissing is obtained. To the sonor consonants are the letters l, m, n, p.
Some sounds and letters of the Russian language havecertain features. One of the most unique letters of the Great and the Mighty is e. This element of the alphabet differs from the other vowels, at least in that it is always a shock. Often on a letter, the letter is replaced by e. Such a tradition has appeared not so long ago, but it gradually eradicates the vowel from the Russian alphabet.
