The alfabet

šŸ‡³šŸ‡± Het alfabet

šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

Het Latijnse alfabet, dat we in Nederland gebruiken, heeft 26 letters:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y zĀ 

  • ThePlus Audio

šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

Het alfabet bestaat uit klinkers en medeklinkers.Ā 

Het academisch Nederlandse woord voor klinker is vocaal. Je hebt je lippen of tanden niet nodig om deze klanken te maken. De lucht uit je mond kan zonder probleem naar buiten.Ā 

Het academisch Nederlandse woord voor medeklinker is consonant. Als je een medeklinker uitspreekt, kan de lucht niet zomaar uit je mond ontsnappen. Een of meerdere delen van je mond vormen een blokkade.

klinkers a, e, i, o, uā€‹
medeklinkers b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, zā€‹

šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

De āŸØyāŸ© is een bijzondere letter: soms is het een klinker (bijvoorbeeld in het woord ā€˜babyā€™) en soms is het een medeklinker (bijvoorbeeld in het woord ā€˜yoghurtā€™). In het Nederlands komt de āŸØyāŸ© alleen in leenwoorden voor.

šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

Het Latijnse alfabet heeft 26 letters, maar we kunnen veel meer dan 26 klanken maken. Want sommige letters kunnen ook samen een klank maken. Een tweeklank (diftong) is een klank die uit twee klinkers bestaat. Samen creĆ«ren ze een unieke klank. De combinaties āŸØeiāŸ©, āŸØuiāŸ© en āŸØouāŸ© zijn zulke klanken. 

Maar ook enkele klinkers kunnen in het Nederlands verschillende klanken maken. Luister maar naar het verschil tussen ‘bomen’ en ‘bommen’.
