Phoneme of Spanish words

---

During the last class we have learned a little about the history of the Spanish language. Something I would like to remember about the difference between the Spanish and English language is that English has Germanic roots and Spanish has its Romance roots, which makes the pronunciation of the words completely different.

In today's class we will learn two very important aspects to start learning the Spanish language. The first aspect is the name of the words and the second is the sound of the words.

Alphabet

In the Spanish alphabet we will find a total of 27 letters, before there were more but two of them were eliminated. As I said before, the Spanish language has its origin in the Latin language and this in turn has its origin in Greek. So it is to be expected that some letters of the Spanish alphabet have Greco-Roman roots and others directly from Latin.

For example:

The letter "G" did not exist before in the Spanish language, the Romans used to use the letter "C" to represent the phoneme "G". It was until the year 300 B.C. where a small stroke was added to the letter "C" in its lower part and the letter "G" was born.

There are many other examples of how some letters obtained their place in the Spanish alphabet. In 1969 the Spanish alphabet was completed and together with the letters we inherit their names:

A (a), B (be), C (ce),	D (de), E (e), F (efe),	G (ge), H (hache), I (i),
J (jota), K (ka),	L (ele),M (eme),	N (ene), Ñ (eñe),
O (o), P (pe), Q (cu),	R (erre), S (ese),	T (te), U (u), V (uve),
W (uve doble),	X (equis), Y (ye),	Z (zeta)

Some of these letters have small variations depending on the location between the Hispanic countries. However, this is the common name for each letter.

Phoneme of the letters of the Spanish alphabet

The phoneme is the minimum unit with which oral language is constructed. In the Spanish language we have 5 vowels and 21 consonants.

Vowels

Vowels have simple sounds, they do not need the help of other letters to pronounce them. Something curious is that in Spanish there are no words without vowels.

In Spanish there is no difference between long and strong vowels as in English. Vowels in Spanish have the same timbre, that is, they sound the same, both for weak vowels and for strong vowels. Strong vowels are those that have a more pronounced sound and are pronounced with the mouth closed (I, U). Weak vowels (A, E, O) are softer and are pronounced with an open mouth.

A-E-I-O-U

consonants

There are 22 consonants in the Spanish language and all of them are pronounced with the mouth half-closed. The only way to pronounce the consonants is that they are accompanied by a vowel.

BE-CE-GE-HACHE-KA

There are two types of consonants, the first are the obstruients and are those that when pronounced interrupt the air outflow from the mouth and on the contrary there are the sonants, which do not obstruct the air outflow from the mouth when pronounced.

Important note:

As part of today's class homework, I will leave a video with which you can listen to the sound of each of the letters of the alphabet in Spanish. The video is exclusively for this class.

^{The video appears in the Spanish section, at the beginning of the post.}
