|
In some cases, it is triggered by a palatal or palatalized consonant or front vowel, but in other cases, it is not conditioned in any way. |

|
Wherever possible, the keywords end in a voiceless alveolar or dental consonant. |
|
The onset is the consonant sound or sounds at the beginning of a syllable, occurring before the nucleus. |
|
Some languages restrict onsets to be only a single consonant, while others allow multiconsonant onsets according to various rules. |
|
|
The syllable nucleus is usually a vowel, in the form of a monophthong, diphthong, or triphthong, but sometimes is a syllabic consonant. |
|
The coda comprises the consonant sounds of a syllable that follow the nucleus. |
|
If the coda consists of a consonant cluster, the sonority decreases from left to right, as in the English word help. |
|
This is because a single following consonant is typically considered the onset of the following syllable. |
|
It may still apply in inflected forms of such words containing an additional final consonant sound, such as cities, Charlie's and hurried. |
|
When a syllabic consonant occurs, an alternative pronunciation is also possible. |
|
The phonological history of the English language includes various changes in the phonology of consonant clusters. |

|
Another feature in the Kerry accent is the S before the consonant. |
|
Some patterns of 'qualitative gradation', in which strong forms contain a consonant that is missing or lenited in weak forms, are retained in the first and second conjugation. |

|
In some languages, like Italian, Swedish, Faroese, Icelandic, many Finnish dialects and Luganda, consonant length and vowel length depend on each other. |
|
Vowel length is distinctive in more languages than consonant length is. |
|

There is evidence to suggest that the consonant cluster mb remained distinct in Cumbric later than the time it was assimilated to mm in Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. |
|
Gemination, or consonant elongation, is the pronouncing in phonetics of a spoken consonant for an audibly longer period of time than that of a short consonant. |
|
In all Finnic languages featuring gradation, geminate stops and single stops that are intervocalic or follow a voiced consonant undergo gradation. |
|
Furthermore, languages rely on morphophonemic processes such as glide formation, vowel deletion, vowel coalescence and consonant epenthesis to resolve hiatus. |
|
Vowel phonemes are realized as longer vowel allophones before voiced consonant phonemes in the coda of a syllable, meaning vowels are lengthened before a voiced consonant. |
|
|
They believe that stressed vowels in open syllables remained phonetically short, and a consonant grapheme in intervocalic position usually represents a single consonant. |

|
The th sounds, which the English language still has, disappeared on the continent in German with the consonant shifts between the 8th and the 10th centuries. |
|
However, syllables can be analyzed as compositions of long and short phonemes, as in Finnish and Japanese, where consonant gemination and vowel length are independent. |
|
The consonant inventory of the standard language is shown below. |
|
A syllabic consonant may be analyzed phonologically either as just the consonant, or as consisting of an underlying schwa followed by the consonant. |
|
This has to be juxtaposed to the knowledge that gemination has taken place in the cases of the loss of a stop from a gradational consonant cluster in non-initial syllables. |
|
The history of the German language begins with the High German consonant shift during the migration period, which separated Old High German dialects from Old Saxon. |
|
Diachronically, the rise of consonant gradation in Germanic can be explained by Kluge's law, by which geminates arose from stops followed by a nasal in a stressed syllable. |
|
The new final consonant may be slightly lengthened as an effect. |
|
When a consonant cluster ending in a stop is followed by another consonant or cluster in the next syllable, the final stop in the first syllable is often elided. |
|
Readers of English can generally rely on the correspondence between spelling and pronunciation to be fairly regular for letters or digraphs used to spell consonant sounds. |
|
Because lenis consonants are frequently voiceless at the end of a syllable, vowel length is an important cue as to whether the following consonant is lenis or fortis. |
|
The consonant system was still that of PIE minus palatovelars and laryngeals, but the loss of syllabic resonants already made the language markedly different from PIE proper. |
|
They are affixed to the verbs as enclitics, causing in some circumstances the assimilation of the final consonant of the verbal base to the enclitic. |
