Talk:Modern Greek phonology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Consonants
"The series of voiced plosives can be analysed as sequences of nasals and voiceless plosives, [b] = /mp/, [d] = /nt/, [g] = /ng/. Again, this corresponds to the orthographic spelling (using digraphs <μπ, ντ, γκ>)."
/ng/ is _not_ "a sequence of a nasal and a voiceless plosive"; if someone wants to dispute "g"-s status as a phoneme, they need to claim that "[g] = /nk/" (or /ŋk/ if Greek had an "ŋ" phoneme, but it doesn't). --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 23:50, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
