Ya ((unicode:Я я); italics: ''(unicode:Я я)'') is a letter of the Cyrillic script, the civil script variant of Old Cyrillic Little Yus (). Among modern Slavonic languages it is used in East Slavic and Bulgarian languages. It is also used in the Cyrillic alphabets used by Mongolian and many Uralic, Caucasian and Turkic languages of the former Soviet Union. ==Pronunciation== It is a so-called iotated vowel and typically sounds as in initial or post-vocalic position, something between English pronunciations of in 'yard' and 'yack'. When follows a soft consonant, no /j/ sound occurs between the consonant and the vowel. Exact pronunciation of the vowel sound of depends also on the succeeding sound due to allophony in Slavic languages. Before a soft consonant it is , the near-open front unrounded vowel – like in 'bat'. If a hard consonant follows , or none, then the result is an open vowel, usually [] – like in French 'la'. In non-stressed positions the reduction depends on language and dialect. The standard Russian language reduces this vowel to [], but in yakanye dialects does not reduce at all, although other instances of the phoneme (represented with the letter ) do reduce. In Bulgarian the vowel sound is reduced to in unstressed syllables, and is pronounced in stressed verb and definite article endings. 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「Ya (Cyrillic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
