Approximant consonant

Approximants are speech sounds that involve the articulators approaching each other but not narrowly enough nor with enough articulatory precision to create turbulent airflow.

Assimilation (phonology)

In phonology, assimilation is a common phonological process by which one sound becomes more like a nearby sound.

Back vowel

A back vowel is any in a class of vowel sound used in spoken languages.

Cambridge

Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately north of London.

Close vowel

A close vowel, also known as a high vowel (in American terminology), is any in a class of vowel sound used in many spoken languages.

Consonant

In articulatory phonetics, a consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Consonant · See more »

Consonant voicing and devoicing

In phonology, voicing (or sonorization) is a sound change where a voiceless consonant becomes voiced due to the influence of its phonological environment; shift in the opposite direction is referred to as devoicing or desonorization.

Dental consonant

A dental consonant is a consonant articulated with the tongue against the upper teeth, such as,,, and in some languages.

Elision

In linguistics, an elision or deletion is the omission of one or more sounds (such as a vowel, a consonant, or a whole syllable) in a word or phrase.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Elision · See more »

Epenthesis

In phonology, epenthesis (Greek) means the addition of one or more sounds to a word, especially to the interior of a word (at the beginning prothesis and at the end paragoge are commonly used).

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Epenthesis · See more »

Fricative consonant

Fricatives are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Fricative consonant · See more »

Front vowel

A front vowel is any in a class of vowel sound used in some spoken languages, its defining characteristic being that the highest point of the tongue is positioned relatively in front in the mouth without creating a constriction that would make it a consonant.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Front vowel · See more »

Glottal consonant

Glottal consonants are consonants using the glottis as their primary articulation.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Glottal consonant · See more »

Harvard University

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hypercorrection

In linguistics or usage, hypercorrection is a non-standard usage that results from the over-application of a perceived rule of grammar or a usage prescription.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Hypercorrection · See more »

Labial consonant

Labial consonants are consonants in which one or both lips are the active articulator.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Labial consonant · See more »

Lenition

In linguistics, lenition is a kind of sound change that alters consonants, making them more sonorous.

London

London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.

Mid vowel

A mid vowel (or a true-mid vowel) is any in a class of vowel sounds used in some spoken languages.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Mid vowel · See more »

Nasal consonant

In phonetics, a nasal, also called a nasal occlusive, nasal stop in contrast with a nasal fricative, or nasal continuant, is an occlusive consonant produced with a lowered velum, allowing air to escape freely through the nose.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Nasal consonant · See more »

Open vowel

An open vowel is a vowel sound in which the tongue is positioned as far as possible from the roof of the mouth.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Open vowel · See more »

Phoneme

A phoneme is one of the units of sound (or gesture in the case of sign languages, see chereme) that distinguish one word from another in a particular language.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Phoneme · See more »

Phonology

Phonology is a branch of linguistics concerned with the systematic organization of sounds in languages.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Phonology · See more »

Postalveolar consonant

Postalveolar consonants (sometimes spelled post-alveolar) are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge, farther back in the mouth than the alveolar consonants, which are at the ridge itself but not as far back as the hard palate, the place of articulation for palatal consonants.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Postalveolar consonant · See more »

Roundedness

In phonetics, vowel roundedness refers to the amount of rounding in the lips during the articulation of a vowel.

Seattle

Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Seattle · See more »

Sonorant

In phonetics and phonology, a sonorant or resonant is a speech sound that is produced with continuous, non-turbulent airflow in the vocal tract; these are the manners of articulation that are most often voiced in the world's languages.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Sonorant · See more »

Stop consonant

In phonetics, a stop, also known as a plosive or oral occlusive, is a consonant in which the vocal tract is blocked so that all airflow ceases.

Syllable

A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds.

New!!: Uyghur phonology and Syllable · See more »

Trill consonant

In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the active articulator and passive articulator.

Voicelessness

In linguistics, voicelessness is the property of sounds being pronounced without the larynx vibrating.

Vowel reduction

In phonetics, vowel reduction is any of various changes in the acoustic quality of vowels, which are related to changes in stress, sonority, duration, loudness, articulation, or position in the word (e.g. for the Creek language), and which are perceived as "weakening".
