69-651: Dužine ( Serbian Cyrillic : Дужине ) is a village in Serbia . It is situated in the Plandište municipality , in the South Banat District , Vojvodina province. The village has a Serb ethnic majority (54,33%) with a present Macedonian (31,05%) and Slovenian (8,21%) minority. Its population numbering 219 people (2002 census). There is also an officially recognized Macedonian minority population living in Dužine. In Serbian

138-483: A pitch trace on a musical scale . Beyond the letters themselves, there are a variety of secondary symbols which aid in transcription. Diacritic marks can be combined with the letters to add tone and phonetic detail such as secondary articulation . There are also special symbols for prosodic features such as stress and intonation. There are two principal types of brackets used to set off (delimit) IPA transcriptions: Less common conventions include: All three of

207-528: A challenge in Unicode modeling, as the glyphs differ only in italic versions, and historically non-italic letters have been used in the same code positions. Serbian professional typography uses fonts specially crafted for the language to overcome the problem, but texts printed from common computers contain East Slavic rather than Serbian italic glyphs. Cyrillic fonts from Adobe, Microsoft (Windows Vista and later) and

Other delimiters sometimes seen are pipes and double pipes taken from Americanist phonetic notation . However, these conflict with the pipes used in basic IPA prosodic transcription. Other delimiters are double slashes, –

If the underlying font and Web technology provides support, the proper glyphs can be obtained by marking the text with appropriate language codes. Thus, in non-italic mode: whereas: Since Unicode unifies different glyphs in same characters, font support must be present to display the correct variant. The standard Serbian keyboard layout for personal computers

414-562: A group of French and English language teachers, led by the French linguist Paul Passy , formed what would be known from 1897 onwards as the International Phonetic Association (in French, l'Association phonétique internationale ). The idea of the alphabet had been suggested to Passy by Otto Jespersen . It was developed by Passy along with other members of the association, principally Daniel Jones . The original IPA alphabet

Serbian Cyrillic is in official use in Serbia , Montenegro , and Bosnia and Herzegovina . Although Bosnia "officially accept[s] both alphabets", the Latin script is almost always used in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina , whereas Cyrillic

Authors who employ such nonstandard use are encouraged to include a chart or other explanation of their choices, which is good practice in general, as linguists differ in their understanding of the exact meaning of IPA symbols and common conventions change over time. Many British dictionaries, including

621-695: A row left out to save space. In the table below, a slightly different arrangement is made: All pulmonic consonants are included in the pulmonic-consonant table, and the vibrants and laterals are separated out so that the rows reflect the common lenition pathway of stop → fricative → approximant , as well as the fact that several letters pull double duty as both fricative and approximant; affricates may then be created by joining stops and fricatives from adjacent cells. Shaded cells represent articulations that are judged to be impossible or not distinctive. Vowel letters are also grouped in pairs—of unrounded and rounded vowel sounds—with these pairs also arranged from front on

690-586: A short schwa , e.g. /fə/).: Summary tables According to tradition, Glagolitic was invented by the Byzantine Christian missionaries and brothers Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 860s, amid the Christianization of the Slavs . Glagolitic alphabet appears to be older, predating the introduction of Christianity, only formalized by Cyril and expanded to cover non-Greek sounds. The Glagolitic alphabet

Opera librettos are authoritatively transcribed in IPA, such as Nico Castel 's volumes and Timothy Cheek's book Singing in Czech . Opera singers' ability to read IPA was used by the site Visual Thesaurus , which employed several opera singers "to make recordings for

828-596: Is as follows: International Phonetic Alphabet The International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin script . It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standard written representation for the sounds of speech . The IPA is used by lexicographers , foreign language students and teachers, linguists , speech–language pathologists , singers, actors, constructed language creators, and translators . The IPA

897-421: Is designed for transcribing sounds (phones), not phonemes , though it is used for phonemic transcription as well. A few letters that did not indicate specific sounds have been retired (⟨ ˇ ⟩, once used for the "compound" tone of Swedish and Norwegian, and ⟨ ƞ ⟩, once used for the moraic nasal of Japanese), though one remains: ⟨ ɧ ⟩, used for the sj-sound of Swedish. When

966-483: Is designed to represent those qualities of speech that are part of lexical (and, to a limited extent, prosodic ) sounds in oral language : phones , intonation and the separation of syllables . To represent additional qualities of speech—such as tooth gnashing , lisping , and sounds made with a cleft palate —an extended set of symbols may be used. Segments are transcribed by one or more IPA symbols of two basic types: letters and diacritics . For example,

The Journal of the IPA finds it acceptable to mix IPA and extIPA symbols in consonant charts in their articles. (For instance, including the extIPA letter ⟨ 𝼆 ⟩ , rather than ⟨ ʎ̝̊ ⟩, in an illustration of

1104-575: Is in everyday use in Republika Srpska . The Serbian language in Croatia is officially recognized as a minority language; however, the use of Cyrillic in bilingual signs has sparked protests and vandalism . Serbian Cyrillic is an important symbol of Serbian identity. In Serbia, official documents are printed in Cyrillic only even though, according to a 2014 survey, 47% of the Serbian population write in

1173-528: Is not always accessible to sight-impaired readers who rely on screen reader technology. Double angle brackets may occasionally be useful to distinguish original orthography from transliteration, or the idiosyncratic spelling of a manuscript from the normalized orthography of the language. Pipes are sometimes used instead of double angle brackets to denote the distinct allographs of a grapheme that are known as glyphs . For example, print | g | and script | ɡ | are two glyph variants of

1242-427: Is the official chart as posted at the website of the IPA. The letters chosen for the IPA are meant to harmonize with the Latin alphabet . For this reason, most letters are either Latin or Greek , or modifications thereof. Some letters are neither: for example, the letter denoting the glottal stop , ⟨ ʔ ⟩, originally had the form of a question mark with the dot removed. A few letters, such as that of

1311-477: Is the only one in official use. The ligatures : were developed specially for the Serbian alphabet. Serbian Cyrillic does not use several letters encountered in other Slavic Cyrillic alphabets. It does not use hard sign ( ъ ) and soft sign ( ь ), particularly due to a lack of distinction between iotated consonants and non-iotated consonants, but the aforementioned soft-sign ligatures instead. It does not have Russian/Belarusian Э , Ukrainian/Belarusian І ,

1380-461: The Handbook recommended against their use, as cursive IPA is "harder for most people to decipher". A braille representation of the IPA for blind or visually impaired professionals and students has also been developed. The International Phonetic Alphabet is occasionally modified by the Association. After each modification, the Association provides an updated simplified presentation of the alphabet in

1449-456: The Hebrew alphabet for transcription of foreign words. Bilingual dictionaries that translate from foreign languages into Russian usually employ the IPA, but monolingual Russian dictionaries occasionally use pronunciation respelling for foreign words. The IPA is more common in bilingual dictionaries, but there are exceptions here too. Mass-market bilingual Czech dictionaries, for instance, tend to use

1518-567: The IPA extensions . In the IPA itself, however, only lower-case letters are used. The 1949 edition of the IPA handbook indicated that an asterisk ⟨*⟩ might be prefixed to indicate that a word was a proper name, but this convention was not included in the 1999 Handbook , which notes the contrary use of the asterisk as a placeholder for a sound or feature that does not have a symbol. The IPA has widespread use among classical singers during preparation as they are frequently required to sing in

1587-663: The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and later in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . Due to the shared cultural area, Gaj's Latin alphabet saw a gradual adoption in the Socialist Republic of Serbia since, and both scripts are used to write modern standard Serbian. In Serbia , Cyrillic is seen as being more traditional, and has the official status (designated in the constitution as the " official script ", compared to Latin's status of "script in official use" designated by

The following table provides the upper and lower case forms of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, along with the equivalent forms in the Serbian Latin alphabet and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) value for each letter. The letters do not have names, and consonants are normally pronounced as such when spelling is necessary (or followed by

1725-552: The Nazi puppet Independent State of Croatia banned the use of Cyrillic, having regulated it on 25 April 1941, and in June 1941 began eliminating " Eastern " (Serbian) words from Croatian, and shut down Serbian schools. The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet was used as a basis for the Macedonian alphabet with the work of Krste Misirkov and Venko Markovski . The Serbian Cyrillic script was one of

1794-747: The Oxford English Dictionary and some learner's dictionaries such as the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary , now use the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the pronunciation of words. However, most American (and some British) volumes use one of a variety of pronunciation respelling systems, intended to be more comfortable for readers of English and to be more acceptable across dialects, without

1863-487: The djerv (Ꙉꙉ) for the Serbian reflexes of Pre-Slavic *tj and *dj (* t͡ɕ , * d͡ʑ , * d͡ʒ , and * tɕ ), later the letter evolved to dje (Ђђ) and tshe (Ћћ) letters . Vuk Stefanović Karadžić fled Serbia during the Serbian Revolution in 1813, to Vienna. There he met Jernej Kopitar , a linguist with interest in slavistics. Kopitar and Sava Mrkalj helped Vuk to reform Serbian and its orthography. He finalized

1932-558: The voiced pharyngeal fricative , ⟨ ʕ ⟩, were inspired by other writing systems (in this case, the Arabic letter ⟨ ﻉ ⟩, ʿayn , via the reversed apostrophe). Some letter forms derive from existing letters: The International Phonetic Alphabet is based on the Latin script , and uses as few non-Latin letters as possible. The Association created the IPA so that the sound values of most letters would correspond to "international usage" (approximately Classical Latin ). Hence,

The International Phonetic Association organizes the letters of the IPA into three categories: pulmonic consonants, non-pulmonic consonants, and vowels. Pulmonic consonant letters are arranged singly or in pairs of voiceless ( tenuis ) and voiced sounds, with these then grouped in columns from front (labial) sounds on

2070-497: The 3 and 13 October 1914 banned the use of Serbian Cyrillic in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia , limiting it for use in religious instruction. A decree was passed on January 3, 1915, that banned Serbian Cyrillic completely from public use. An imperial order on October 25, 1915, banned the use of Serbian Cyrillic in the Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina , except "within the scope of Serbian Orthodox Church authorities". In 1941,

2139-675: The Greek alphabet, though their sound values may differ from Greek. For most Greek letters, subtly different glyph shapes have been devised for the IPA, specifically ⟨ ɑ ⟩, ⟨ ꞵ ⟩, ⟨ ɣ ⟩, ⟨ ɛ ⟩, ⟨ ɸ ⟩, ⟨ ꭓ ⟩ and ⟨ ʋ ⟩, which are encoded in Unicode separately from their parent Greek letters. One, however – ⟨ θ ⟩ – has only its Greek form, while for ⟨ ꞵ ~ β ⟩ and ⟨ ꭓ ~ χ ⟩, both Greek and Latin forms are in common use. The tone letters are not derived from an alphabet, but from

2208-461: The IPA Handbook , the letters ⟨ c ⟩ and ⟨ ɟ ⟩ are used for /t͡ʃ/ and /d͡ʒ/ . Among the symbols of the IPA, 107 letters represent consonants and vowels , 31 diacritics are used to modify these, and 17 additional signs indicate suprasegmental qualities such as length , tone , stress , and intonation . These are organized into a chart; the chart displayed here

2277-566: The IPA have consisted largely of renaming symbols and categories and in modifying typefaces . Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet for speech pathology (extIPA) were created in 1990 and were officially adopted by the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association in 1994. They were substantially revised in 2015. The general principle of the IPA is to provide one letter for each distinctive sound ( speech segment ). This means that: The alphabet

2346-412: The IPA is used for broad phonetic or for phonemic transcription, the letter–sound correspondence can be rather loose. The IPA has recommended that more 'familiar' letters be used when that would not cause ambiguity. For example, ⟨ e ⟩ and ⟨ o ⟩ for [ɛ] and [ɔ] , ⟨ t ⟩ for [t̪] or [ʈ] , ⟨ f ⟩ for [ɸ] , etc. Indeed, in the illustration of Hindi in

2415-619: The IPA only for sounds not found in Czech . IPA letters have been incorporated into the alphabets of various languages, notably via the Africa Alphabet in many sub-Saharan languages such as Hausa , Fula , Akan , Gbe languages , Manding languages , Lingala , etc. Capital case variants have been created for use in these languages. For example, Kabiyè of northern Togo has Ɖ ɖ , Ŋ ŋ , Ɣ ɣ , Ɔ ɔ , Ɛ ɛ , Ʋ ʋ . These, and others, are supported by Unicode , but appear in Latin ranges other than

2484-527: The IPA remained nearly static until the Kiel Convention in 1989, which substantially revamped the alphabet. A smaller revision took place in 1993 with the resurrection of letters for mid central vowels and the retirement of letters for voiceless implosives . The alphabet was last revised in May 2005 with the addition of a letter for a labiodental flap . Apart from the addition and removal of symbols, changes to

2553-532: The IPA.) Of more than 160 IPA symbols, relatively few will be used to transcribe speech in any one language, with various levels of precision. A precise phonetic transcription, in which sounds are specified in detail, is known as a narrow transcription . A coarser transcription with less detail is called a broad transcription. Both are relative terms, and both are generally enclosed in square brackets. Broad phonetic transcriptions may restrict themselves to easily heard details, or only to details that are relevant to

2622-485: The International Phonetic Association. As of the most recent change in 2005, there are 107 segmental letters, an indefinitely large number of suprasegmental letters, 44 diacritics (not counting composites), and four extra-lexical prosodic marks in the IPA. These are illustrated in the current IPA chart , posted below in this article and on the International Phonetic Association's website. In 1886,

The following are not, but may be seen in IPA transcription or in associated material (especially angle brackets): Also commonly seen are the braces of set theory , especially when enclosing the set of phonemes that constitute the morphophoneme, e.g. {t d} or {t|d} or {/t/, /d/} for a conflated /t/ and /d/ . Braces have

Karadžić reformed standard Serbian and standardised the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet by following strict phonemic principles on the Johann Christoph Adelung ' model and Jan Hus ' Czech alphabet . Karadžić's reforms of standard Serbian modernised it and distanced it from Serbian and Russian Church Slavonic , instead bringing it closer to common folk speech, specifically, to

2829-598: The alphabet or the chart is to propose the change in the Journal of the IPA . (See, for example, December 2008 on an open central unrounded vowel and August 2011 on central approximants.) Reactions to the proposal may be published in the same or subsequent issues of the Journal (as in August 2009 on the open central vowel). A formal proposal is then put to the Council of the IPA – which

2898-453: The conceptual counterparts of spoken sounds, are usually enclosed in slashes (/ /) and tend to use simpler letters with few diacritics. The choice of IPA letters may reflect theoretical claims of how speakers conceptualize sounds as phonemes or they may be merely a convenience for typesetting. Phonemic approximations between slashes do not have absolute sound values. For instance, in English, either

Karadžić was, together with Đuro Daničić , the main Serbian signatory to the Vienna Literary Agreement of 1850 which, encouraged by Austrian authorities, laid the foundation for Serbian, various forms of which are used by Serbs in Serbia , Montenegro , Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia today. Karadžić also translated the New Testament into Serbian, which

For example, the English word little may be transcribed broadly as [ˈlɪtəl] , approximately describing many pronunciations. A narrower transcription may focus on individual or dialectical details: [ˈɫɪɾɫ] in General American , [ˈlɪʔo] in Cockney , or [ˈɫɪːɫ] in Southern US English . Phonemic transcriptions, which express

IPA letters have cursive forms designed for use in manuscripts and when taking field notes, but

3243-403: The form of a chart. (See History of the IPA .) Not all aspects of the alphabet can be accommodated in a chart of the size published by the IPA. The alveolo-palatal and epiglottal consonants, for example, are not included in the consonant chart for reasons of space rather than of theory (two additional columns would be required, one between the retroflex and palatal columns and the other between

3312-412: The grapheme ⟨ g ⟩ of Latin script. Some examples of contrasting brackets in the literature: In some English accents, the phoneme /l/ , which is usually spelled as ⟨l⟩ or ⟨ll⟩ , is articulated as two distinct allophones: the clear [l] occurs before vowels and the consonant /j/ , whereas the dark [ɫ] / [lˠ] occurs before consonants, except /j/ , and at

3381-438: The implication of a preferred pronunciation that the IPA might convey. For example, the respelling systems in many American dictionaries (such as Merriam-Webster ) use ⟨y⟩ for IPA [ j] and ⟨sh⟩ for IPA [ ʃ ] , reflecting the usual spelling of those sounds in English. (In IPA, [y] represents the sound of the French ⟨u⟩ , as in tu , and [sh] represents

3450-454: The left to back (glottal) sounds on the right. In official publications by the IPA, two columns are omitted to save space, with the letters listed among "other symbols" even though theoretically they belong in the main chart. They are arranged in rows from full closure (occlusives: stops and nasals) at top, to brief closure (vibrants: trills and taps), to partial closure (fricatives), and finally minimal closure (approximants) at bottom, again with

No vowel letters are omitted from the chart, though in the past some of the mid central vowels were listed among the "other symbols". A pulmonic consonant is a consonant made by obstructing the glottis (the space between the vocal folds) or oral cavity (the mouth) and either simultaneously or subsequently letting out air from

3588-408: The lungs. Pulmonic consonants make up the majority of consonants in the IPA, as well as in human language. All consonants in English fall into this category. The pulmonic consonant table, which includes most consonants, is arranged in rows that designate manner of articulation , meaning how the consonant is produced, and columns that designate place of articulation , meaning where in the vocal tract

3657-469: The pharyngeal and glottal columns), and the lateral flap would require an additional row for that single consonant, so they are listed instead under the catchall block of "other symbols". The indefinitely large number of tone letters would make a full accounting impractical even on a larger page, and only a few examples are shown, and even the tone diacritics are not complete; the reversed tone letters are not illustrated at all. The procedure for modifying

3726-409: The principle of "write as you speak and read as it is written", removing obsolete letters and letters representing iotated vowels , introducing ⟨J⟩ from the Latin alphabet instead, and adding several consonant letters for sounds specific to Serbian phonology . During the same period, linguists led by Ljudevit Gaj adapted the Latin alphabet, in use in western South Slavic areas, using

3795-427: The same notation as for morphophonology, – exclamation marks, and pipes. For example, ⟨ cot ⟩ would be used for the orthography of the English word cot , as opposed to its pronunciation /ˈkɒt/ . Italics are usual when words are written as themselves (as with cot in the previous sentence) rather than to specifically note their orthography. However, italics are sometimes ambiguous, and italic markup

3864-464: The same principles. As a result of this joint effort, Serbian Cyrillic and Gaj's Latin alphabets have a complete one-to-one congruence, with the Latin digraphs Lj, Nj, and Dž counting as single letters. The updated Serbian Cyrillic alphabet was officially adopted in the Principality of Serbia in 1868, and was in exclusive use in the country up to the interwar period . Both alphabets were official in

Ј can also be used as a semi-vowel, in place of й . The letter Щ is not used. When necessary, it is transliterated as either ШЧ , ШЋ or ШТ . Serbian italic and cursive forms of lowercase letters б , г , д , п , and т (Russian Cyrillic alphabet) differ from those used in other Cyrillic alphabets: б , г , д , п , and т (Serbian Cyrillic alphabet). The regular (upright) shapes are generally standardized among languages and there are no officially recognized variations. That presents

Monolingual dictionaries of languages with phonemic orthographies generally do not bother with indicating the pronunciation of most words, and tend to use respelling systems for words with unexpected pronunciations. Dictionaries produced in Israel use the IPA rarely and sometimes use

4071-467: The sound of the English digraph ⟨ch⟩ may be transcribed in IPA with a single letter: [c] , or with multiple letters plus diacritics: [t̠̺͡ʃʰ] , depending on how precise one wishes to be. Slashes are used to signal phonemic transcription ; therefore, /tʃ/ is more abstract than either [t̠̺͡ʃʰ] or [c] and might refer to either, depending on the context and language. Occasionally, letters or diacritics are added, removed, or modified by

This basic Latin inventory

By contrast, a narrow phonetic transcription of pick , peak , pique could be: [pʰɪk] , [pʰiːk] , [pikʲ] . IPA is popular for transcription by linguists. Some American linguists, however, use

For example, the sound [ ʃ ] (the sh in shoe ) was originally represented with the letter ⟨c⟩ for English but with ⟨x⟩ for French and German; with German, ⟨c⟩

Part of the Serbian literary heritage of the Middle Ages are works such as Miroslav Gospel , Vukan Gospels , St. Sava's Nomocanon , Dušan's Code , Munich Serbian Psalter , and others. The first printed book in Serbian was the Cetinje Octoechos (1494). It's notable extensive use of diacritical signs by the Resava dialect and use of

The sound values of these letters are related to those of the original letters, and their derivation may be iconic. For example, letters with a rightward-facing hook at the bottom represent retroflex equivalents of the source letters, and small capital letters usually represent uvular equivalents of their source letters. There are also several letters from

The earliest form of Cyrillic was the ustav , based on Greek uncial script, augmented by ligatures and letters from the Glagolitic alphabet for consonants not found in Greek. There was no distinction between capital and lowercase letters. The standard language

He wrote several books; Mala prostonarodna slaveno-serbska pesnarica and Pismenica serbskoga jezika in 1814, and two more in 1815 and 1818, all with the alphabet still in progress. In his letters from 1815 to 1818 he used: Ю, Я, Ы and Ѳ. In his 1815 song book he dropped the Ѣ. The alphabet was officially adopted in 1868, four years after his death. From the Old Slavic script Vuk retained these 24 letters: He added one Latin letter: And 5 new ones: He removed: Orders issued on
