The most common example is the letter ⟨ x ⟩ which normally represents the consonant cluster ( for example, in the word ex-wife, pronounced ).

For example, when representing a vowel, the letter ⟨ y ⟩ in non-word-final positions, represents the sound in some words borrowed from Greek ( reflecting an original upsilon ), whereas the letter usually representing this sound in non-Greek words is the letter ⟨ i ⟩.

However, they are distinguished from each other orthographically by the addition of the letter ⟨ h ⟩.

For instance the letter ⟨ e ⟩ in the word cottage indicates that the preceding ⟨ g ⟩ is pronounced, rather than the more common value of ⟨ g ⟩ in word-final position as the sound, such as in tag.

For example, the letter ⟨ i ⟩ in the word cinema has a sound-representing function ( representing the sound ) and a pronunciation-marking function ( marking the ⟨ c ⟩ as having the value opposed to the value ).

Although the letter ⟨ t ⟩ is pronounced by some speakers with aspiration at the beginning of words, this is never indicated in the spelling, and, indeed, this phonetic detail is probably not noticeable to the average native speaker not trained in phonetics.

The letter ' G ' was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of ⟨ c ⟩ to distinguish voiced from voiceless.

" According to some records, the original seventh letter, ⟨ z ⟩, had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewhat earlier in the 3rd century BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius, who found it distasteful and foreign.

The 1949 Principles of the International Phonetic Association recommends using 10px for advanced voiced velar plosives ( denoted by Latin small letter script G ) and 10px for regular ones where the two are contrasted, but this suggestion was never accepted by phoneticians in general, and today ⟨ 10px ⟩ is the symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with ⟨ 10px ⟩ acknowledged as an acceptable variant, and is more often used in printed materials.

In English, the letter represents either a voiced postalveolar affricate (" soft G "), as in giant, ginger, and geology ; a voiced velar plosive (" hard G "), as in goose, gargoyle, and game ; or, in the digraph ⟨ ng ⟩, either a velar nasal as in length or a blend of the latter with the hard G as in jungle ; or, in the digraph ⟨ dg ⟩ as in bridge.

⟨ gh ⟩ which came about when the letter yogh was removed from the alphabet, and took various values including,,, and.

Strictly speaking, the letter ⟨ g ⟩ is not present in other scripts, but the sound it represents is present in many world languages, and is represented by many different graphemes.

) or ⟨ ґ ⟩ ( in Ukrainian as additional letter with a slightly different pronunciation ).

For example, the sound of the English letter ⟨ t ⟩ may be transcribed in IPA with a single letter,, or with a letter plus diacritics,, depending on how precise one wishes to be.

In German, words starting with sch-( constituting the German phoneme ) would be intercalated between words with initial sca-and sci-( all incidentally loanwords ) instead of this graphic cluster appearing after the letter s, as though it were a single letter — a lexicographical policy which would be de rigueur in a dictionary of Albanian, i. e. dh -, ë -, gj -, ll -, rr -, th -, xh-and zh-( all representing phonemes and considered separate single letters ) would follow the letters d, e, g, l, n, r, t, x and z respectively.

William Camden provided a definition of " Anagrammatisme " as " a dissolution of a name truly written into his letters, as his elements, and a new connection of it by artificial transposition, without addition, subtraction or change of any letter, into different words, making some perfect sense applyable ( i. e., applicable ) to the person named.

In languages such as English with morphophonemic variation, an alphabet song usually chooses a particular pronunciation for each letter in the alphabet ( e. g. " cake " is, not ) and also typically for some words in the song.

The lowercase letter o for octet is defined as the symbol for octet in IEC 80000-13 and is commonly used in several non-English languages ( e. g., French and Romanian ), and is also used with metric prefixes ( for example, ko and Mo )

Until 1945, Bulgarian orthography did not reveal this alternation and used the original Old Slavic Cyrillic letter yat (), which was commonly called двойно е ( dvoyno e ) at the time, to express the historical yat vowel or at least root vowels displaying the ya – e alternation.

In Spanish, the grapheme ñ is considered a new letter different from n and collated between n and o, as it denotes a different sound from that of a plain n. But the accented vowels á, é, í, ó, ú are not separated from the unaccented vowels a, e, i, o, u, as the acute accent in Spanish only modifies stress within the word or denotes a distinction between homonyms, and does not modify the sound of a letter.

Both long and short forms of the vowels are listed separately in the Hungarian alphabet but members of the pairs a / á, e / é, i / í, o / ó, ö / ő, u / ú and ü / ű are collated in dictionaries as the same letter.

The acute and the grave accent indicate stress and vowel height, the cedilla marks the result of a historical palatalization, the diaeresis mark indicates either a hiatus, or that the letter u is pronounced when the graphemes gü, qü are followed by e or i, the interpunct (·) distinguishes the different values of ll / l · l.
