In Finnish (and related languages such as Estonian), stem-medial consonants undergo mutation called consonant gradation. One of the mutations is known as weakening; here is a partial list: For example, nouns and adjectives in the genitive singular generally have weakened versions of stem-medial consonants: lappu 'piece of paper' (nom.), lapun (gen.) halpa 'cheap' (nom.), halvan (gen.) kota 'Lappish tent' (nom.), kodan (gen.) suka 'brush' (nom.), suan (gen.) puku "a suit", puvun (gen.)See also:

Unlike most varieties of Mandarin, Jin uses the final glottal stop. This is in common with many southern varieties of Chinese. Jin has also kept the entering tone, which is the tone that goes with the final glottal stop. Jin employs extremely complex tone sandhi, or tone changes that occur when words are put together into phrases. The tone sandhi of Jin is remarkable in two ways among Chinese dialects: Tone sandhi rules depend on the grammatical structure of the words being put together. Hence, an adjective-noun compound ...

Research into defining the range of situations affected by rendaku has largely been limited to finding circumstances which cause the phenomenon not to manifest itself. Rendaku - Lyman's Law. The most famous of the conditions affecting rendaku is known as Lyman's Law (although the phenomenon was originally discovered by Motoori Norinaga in the 18th century), which stated that rendaku does not occur if the second consonant of the second element is a voiced obstruent. This was later modif ...

Sandhyansa or Samdhyansa (Sanskrit) [from sandhya a transition period, twilight, dawn + ansa part]

Part of the transition period, the period of a sandhya immediately following or preceding a yuga, and thus either a twilight or dawn. It is often customary in ancient Hindu writings to speak of sandhyansa as the last portion of a sandhi, the end of a twilight; but this is taking only one of the two main junction periods as standing for both, because the end of dawn would be a sandhyansa likewise.

Guaraní only allows syllables consisting of a vowel or a consonant plus a vowel; a syllable ending in a consonant or two or more consonants together (except "digraphs") are not possible. This is represented (C)V(V). Vowels: [a], [e], [i], [o], [u] correspond to Spanish and to the IPA symbols for them, although sometimes the allophones [ɛ], [ɔ] are used more frequently; y is close central unrounded vowel [See also:

Like other southern Chinese languages, Hakka retains single syllable words from earlier stages of Chinese because it can differentiate a large number of working syllables by tone and rime. This reduces the need for compounding or making words of more than one syllable. However, it is also similar to other Chinese languages in having words which are made from more than one syllable.

The Hakka language has as many regional dialects as there are counties with Hakka speakers in the majority. Surrounding Meixian are the counties of Pingyuan 平遠, Dabu 大埔, Jiaoling 蕉嶺, XingNing 興寧, Wuhua 五華, and FengShun 豐順. Each is said to have its own special phonological points of interest. For instance, the XingNing does not have rimes ending in [-m] or [-p]. These have merged into See also:

From the time of its compilation, the text has been handed down in two versions: The Samhitapatha has all Sanskrit rules of sandhi applied and is the text used for recitation. The Padapatha has each word isolated in its pausa form and is used for memorization. The Padapatha is, as it were, a commentary to the Samhitapatha, but the two seem to be about co-eval. The original text as reconstructed on metrical grounds lies somewhere between the two, but closer to the Samhitapatha ("original" in the sense that it aims to recover the hymns in the form of their composition ...

Liaison is an external sandhi: a phonological process occurring at a word boundary. Like elision (as in *je aime → j'aime), it serves the euphonic purpose of preventing hiatus. It is a form of paragoge, the addition of a sound to the end of a word. Unlike an ephelcystic consonant (like the /t/ in donne-t-il), the consonant in liaison is tied to the history of the language: it is a final consonant that is normally suppressed but that continues to be pronounced before an initial v ...

In Sanskrit, there is a causative form of the verb (n.ijanta), which is used when the subject of a clause forces or makes the object perform an action. The causative suffix -ay is attached to the verbal root (this may cause vowel sandhi to take place). bhū "to be, exist" → bhāv-ay; e. g. bhāvayati "he causes to be" khad "to eat" → khād-ay; e. g ...

Classical Sanskrit distinguishes 48 sounds. Some of these, are, however, allophones. The number of phonemes is smaller, at about 35, see below.
