Description
Summary:This article compares systems of vowel phonemes of contemporary standard Slavic languages – South Slavic Croatian and East Slavic: Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian, whereby it elaborates the relationship between contemporary vowel phonemes in these languages and corresponding vowel phonemes in Old Slavic as the language standard. It points to one of the characteristics of phoneme systems in the languages analysed – the different relationship between vowels and consonants in Croatian on one hand, and in the East Slavic languages on the other. Graphemes for recording vowel phonemes in the graphics of these languages are stated and explained, and accordingly the principles of orthography in their graphics are named differently.
