This article is about the phonology and phonetics of the Slovene language. == Consonants == Slovene has 21 distinctive consonant phonemes. * are bilabial, whereas are labiodental. * and are dental , i.e. are laminal denti-alveolar, while and are dentalized laminal alveolar, pronounced with the blade of the tongue very close to the upper front teeth, with the tip of the tongue resting behind lower front teeth. * are alveolar.〔 The first two are laminal denti-alveolar before dental consonants, unless is vocalized to . In addition, is velar before velar consonants,〔 and it merges with to a labiodental before labiodental consonants.〔 * * In Standard Slovene, is always clear . * * There is not a full agreement about the realization of : * * * consider it to be an alveolar tap .〔 * * * states that it varies between an alveolar trill and alveolar tap . Throughout the book, he uses the latter symbol. * * * consider it to be an alveolar trill .〔 * * is uvular in a number of Upper Carniolan and Carinthian dialects. * are palato-alveolar ,〔 but they can be laminal retroflex for some speakers, particularly those living close to the Croatian border. All voiced obstruents are devoiced at the end of words unless immediately followed by a word beginning with a vowel or a voiced consonant. In consonant clusters, voicing distinction is neutralized and all consonants assimilate the voicing of the rightmost segment. In this context, , and may occur as voiced allophones of , and , respectively (e.g. ''vŕh drevésa'' ). has several allophones depending on context. * Before a vowel, pronunciation is labiodental, 〔 (also described as ). * After a vowel, pronunciation is bilabial and forms a diphthong.〔〔 * At the beginning of a syllable, before a consonant (for example in ''vsi'' 'all'), the pronunciation varies more widely by speaker and area. Many speakers convert into a full vowel in this position.〔〔 For those speakers that retain a consonantal pronunciation, it is pronounced before a voiced consonant and before a voiceless consonant.〔〔 Thus, ''vsi'' may be pronounced as disyllabic or monosyllabic . The preposition ''v'' is always bound to the following word; however its phonetic realization follows the normal phonological rules for . The sequences , and occur only before a vowel. Before a consonant or word-finally, they are reduced to , and respectively. This is reflected in the spelling in the case of , but not for and . Under certain (somewhat unpredictable) circumstances, at the end of a syllable may become , merging with the allophone of in that position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slovene phonology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
