DIFFERENCES IN VOWEL AND CONSONANT SYSTEMS IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES
Vol. 5 No. 1 (2025): Eurasian Journal of Academic Research 142-144
Abstract
This article explores the differences in the vowel and consonant systems of the English and Russian languages, highlighting their unique phonetic features. English, with its extensive vowel inventory, diphthongs, and aspiration, contrasts sharply with Russian, which is characterized by a simpler vowel system, vowel reduction, and palatalized consonants. These distinctions create specific challenges for language learners, such as mastering vowel length in English or palatalization in Russian. By analyzing these differences, the article provides valuable insights into the phonetic structures of both languages and their implications for linguistic studies and language learning.
