The term parallels English Canadian Anglophone and Francophone , which designate people whose mother tongues are English and French, respectively. Note that native speakers of Indigenous languages of the Americas United States.2C Canada and Greenland aboriginal languages are generally not treated as allophones. Origin of term The word allophone is formed from the Greek language Greek roots allos , meaning other , and phone , meaning sound or voice . The term became popularized during the Quiet Revolution as French Canadian society in Quebec sought to integrate immigrants, most of whom had traditionally integrated into the English speaking Quebecers English speaking community . As integrating immigrants was deemed essential to assure the survival of French speaking Quebec in light of plummeting birth rates, demographers devised this category to monitor the integration of immigrants into French and English speaking communities. Because allophones often adopt English, French or both languages at home or learn one language before another, they can be grouped into English or French communities based on home language or first official language learned.

Unreferenced date October 2008 In historical linguistics , betacism is a sound change in which IPA b the voiced bilabial plosive , like in bane shifts to IPA v the voiced labiodental fricative , like in English vane . Betacism is a fairly common phenomenon it has taken place in Greek language Greek , Hebrew language Hebrew , and Spanish language Spanish , among others. In Ancient Greek language Classical Greek , the letter Beta letter beta < > denoted IPA b . As a result of betacism, it has come to denote IPA v in Modern Greek . Modern Greek uses the digraph < > to represent IPA b . Indeed, this is the origin of the word betacism . Perhaps the best known example of betacism is in the Romance languages . The first traces of betacism in Latin can be found in the third century C.E. The results of the shift are most widespread in the Italo Western languages , especially in Spanish language Spanish , where the letters < b> and < v> are now both pronounced IPA the voiced bilabial fricative , which is similar to IPA v except phrase initially and after IPA m when they are pronounced IPA b the two sounds IPA and IPA b are now allophone s. A similar phenomenon takes place in Persian language Persian in casual speech. Fact date October 2008 Another example is in Neapolitan language Neapolitan , which uses < v> to denote betacism produced IPA v , such that Italian language Italian bocca corresponds to Neapolitan vocca , Italian albero to arvero , and barba to varva . Betacism occurred in Ancient Hebrew the sound IPA b denoted < > changed to IPA and eventually to IPA v except when gemination geminated or when following a consonant or pause. As a result, the two sounds became allophone s but, due to later sound changes, including the loss of gemination, the distinction become phoneme phonemic in Modern Hebrew .

In the related aryepiglottal trill , the arytenoid cartilage s vibrate. Fact date December 2008 Epiglottal consonant s are often allophone allophonically trilled, and in some languages the trill is the primary realization of the consonant. Although there is no official symbol for an epiglottal trill in the International Phonetic Alphabet IPA , reversed IPA , homographic to Cyrillic is occasionally used in the literature. In some descriptions of the northern dialect of Haida language Haida , the term pharyngeal trill refers to this sound. Epiglottals are sometimes considered a subcategory of pharyngeal consonant s.

Graphemics or graphematics is the linguistic study of writing system s and their basic components, i.e. grapheme . At first Ignace Gelb coined the term grammatology for this discipline, later some scholars suggested to call it graphology to match phonology , but that name is traditionally used for a pseudo science. Others therefore suggested to rename the study of language dependent pronunciation phonemics or phonematics instead, but this did not gain widespread acceptance either. Graphemics examines the specifics of written texts in a certain language and their correspondence to the spoken language. One major task is the descriptive analysis of implicit orthographic regularities graphotactics to formulate explicit rules orthography that can be used in prescriptive education or in computer linguistics , e.g. for speech synthesis . In analogy to phoneme and allophone allo phone in phonology , the graphic units of language are graphemes, i.e. language specific character s, and graph s, i.e. language specific glyph s. Different schools consider different entities to be graphemes major points of divergence are the handling of punctuation , diacritic mark s, digraph plurigraph s and non alphabet ic script s. Analoguous to phonetics the emic and etic etic counterpart of graphemics is called graphetics and deals with the material side only incl. paleography , typography , graphology . linguistics stub Category Linguistics de Graphemik ... more details
The Gold Coast script was the Latin alphabet used to write the Akan language during British colonial rule of the Gold Coast British colony Gold Coast , now Ghana . It differed from the current Akan alphabet in several ways, of which the most fundamental was in vowel notation. Vowels Akan has nine vowels, four pairs that differ whether they have an advanced tongue root sc atr , and IPA a , which is sc atr neutral. In the Gold Coast script, the non sc atr vowels were written with the five vowels of the Latin alphabet, a e i o u, and the sc atr vowels by adding a subscript dot to these. The sc atr vowels have a hollow sound to them, whereas the non sc atr vowels sound rather like the lax vowel s of English. In modern Akan, seven vowel letters are used, with two of them being ambiguous. In addition, the Gold Coast script used a tilde to mark nasal vowel s, which are not marked in modern Akan. class wikitable IPA Phoneme Sound Gold br Coast Modern br Akan align center i i i align center i i rowspan 2 e align center e e align center e e align center a a rowspan 2 a rowspan 2 a align center a align center o o align center o o rowspan 2 o align center u u align center u u u nowiki nowiki The allophone of IPA a produced by vowel harmony with sc atr vowels is not itself sc atr in Asante dialect, but nontheless is markedly distinct from the IPA a allophone.
