Vowel harmony : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vowel harmony
Vowel harmony is a type of long-distance assimilatory phonological process involving vowels that occurs in some languages. In languages with vowel harmony, there are constraints on which vowels may be found near each other. Many agglutinative languages have vowel harmony. ==Terminology==
The term ''vowel harmony'' is used in two different senses. In the first sense, it refers to any type of long distance assimilatory process of vowels, either ''progressive'' or ''regressive''. When used in this sense, the term ''vowel harmony'' is synonymous with the term ''metaphony''. In the second sense, ''vowel harmony'' refers only to ''progressive'' vowel harmony (beginning-to-end). For ''regressive'' harmony, the term ''umlaut'' is used. In this sense, ''metaphony'' is the general term while ''vowel harmony'' and ''umlaut'' are both sub-types of metaphony. The term ''umlaut'' is also used in a different sense to refer to a type of vowel gradation. This article will use "vowel harmony" for both progressive and regressive harmony.
