Unless otherwise noted, statements in this article refer to Standard Finnish, which is based on the dialect spoken in Häme Province in central south Finland. Standard Finnish is used by professional speakers, such as the reporters and the news presenters on television. ==Vowels== * The close vowels are similar to the corresponding cardinal vowels . * The front rounded vowels are phonetically near-front , i.e. intermediate in backness between the default IPA values of the front and central vowels.〔 * The mid vowels are phonetically mid , i.e. intermediate in height between the default IPA values of the close-mid and open-mid vowels.〔 * The open front unrounded vowel is phonetically near-open , i.e. intermediate in height between the default IPA values of the open-mid and fully open vowel.〔 * The open back unrounded vowel has been variously described as: * * Near-open back , i.e. intermediate in height between the default IPA values of the open-mid back and open back vowels.〔 * * Open central , i.e. intermediate in backness between the default IPA values of the open front and open back vowels.〔, cited in 〕 Finnish makes phonemic contrasts between long and short vowels, even in unstressed syllables, though long mid vowels are more common in unstressed syllables. Each short monophthong has a long counterpart with no real difference in acoustic quality. Long vowels are phonemically perceived as two identical vowels in succession and vowel length is not a phonemic quality akin to vowel height. 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「Finnish phonology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
