Russian language contains two letters which have no sound at all. Even in alphabet they have no sound and are called by special names: soft- and hard- sign. That's easy, you need to have a look at the following letter before producing the sound for the current letter. You need to do it anyway as in slavic languages some vowels tend to "soften" some of the preceding consontants. What's bad in common written (printed) russian for "reading" is, that you omit writing of the accent, and more confusingly, even the "double-dot" on "e" distinguishing "ye" from "yo"... The reader distinguishes it from context, but that means a huge dictionary when it comes to text-to-speech... Jan Waclawek PS. The "extra" or "non-spoken" characters, the hungarian languages treats "y" as the "softening character"; they even transcribe words of english/latin origin containing "y" into "i", e.g. "symmetry"->"szimmetria" |
