This article aims to describe the phonology and phonetics of central Luxembourgish, which is regarded as the emerging standard. ==Consonants== The consonant inventory of Luxembourgish is quite similar to that of Standard German. * are bilabial, is bilabial-labiodental, whereas are labiodental. * * occurs only in loanwords from German. Just as among many native German-speakers, it tends to be simplified to word-initially. For example, ''Pflicht'' ('obligation') is pronounced , or in careful speech . * * is realized as when it occurs after , e.g. ''zwee'' ('two'). * are voiceless fortis . They are aspirated in most positions, but not when precedes in the same syllable, or when another plosive or affricate follows. * * Resyllabified fortis stops are subject to voicing if followed by a vowel, e.g. ''eng interessant Iddi'' ('an interesting idea'). * are unaspirated lenis, more often voiceless than voiced . * appears only in a few words, such as spadséieren ('to go for a walk'). * occurs only in loanwords from English. * are velar, is uvular, wheareas is palatal. * * The normal realization of is more often a trill than a fricative . The fricative variant is used after short vowels before consonants. If the consonant is voiceless, the fricative is also voiceless, i.e. . Older speakers use the consonantal variant also in the word-final position, where younger speakers tend to vocalize the to a central vowel or . * * is frequently realized as , e.g. ''Juni'' or ('June'). * have two types of allophones: alveolo-palatal and velar/uvular . The latter occur before back vowels, whereas the former occur in all other positions. * * The allophone appears only in a few words. Note that an increasing number of speakers do not distinguish between the alveolo-palatal allophones of and the postalveolar phonemes . * * There is not a complete agreement about the nature of the posterior allophones of ; describe them as uvular , whereas describe them as velar . * is always clear . In external sandhi, syllable-final is deleted unless followed by , with few exceptions. Furthermore, some unusual consonant clusters may arise post-lexically after cliticisation of the definite article ''d (for feminine, neuter and plural forms), e.g. ''d'Land'' ('the country') or ''d'Kräiz'' ('the cross'). 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「Luxembourgish phonology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
