Quenya/Fonologie: verschil tussen versies

 

 

Quenya has 5 vowels: '''a''', '''e''', '''i''', '''o''', '''u'''.

 

 

 

Quenya has 7 diphthongs: '''ai''', '''oi''', '''ui''', '''au''', '''eu''', '''iu''', '''ei'''.

::'''lëo''' "shade" → '''le-o'''

 

 

In Quenya spelling in certain situations a diaeresis is used, but it makes <u>no difference</u> to pronunciation at all. It is simply used to denote a pronunciation that is not like the English pronunciation.

 

 

 

 

 

These are: t, p, c, s, f, h, n, m, r, v, y, w, l

 

 

 

These are: '''cc''', '''ll''', '''mm''', '''nn''', '''pp''', '''rr''', '''tt''', '''ss'''.

 

 

 

Even though these groups are considered units, when we want to determine the length of a syllable they count as a consonant cluster:

:These are slightly different as they always count as a single consonant when preceded by a long vowel, but as a consonant cluster when determining syllable length with a short vowel.

 

 

Quenya is very restrictive in the use of consonants as only certain combinations are allowed.

 

 

 

To know which syllable is stressed, we first have to understand the length of a syllable:

----
