Ě: Difference between revisions

The letter ě is a vestige of Old-Czech [[Palatalization (phonetics)|palatalization]]. The originally palatalizing [[phoneme]], [[yat]] /ě/ {{IPA|[ʲɛ]}}, became extinct, changing to {{IPA|[ɛ]}} or {{IPA|[jɛ]}}, but it is preserved as a [[grapheme]].

* ''Bě, pě, vě, fě'' is written instead of ''bje, pje, vje, fje''. But inNevertheless, some words ('''''vj'''ezd'', "entry, drive-in,"; ''o'''bj'''em'', "volume"), are written with ''bje, vje'' is written because ''–je-'' is part of the etymological root of the word, preceded by the prefix ''v-'' or ''ob-''.

* ''Mě'' {{IPA|[mɲɛ]}} is written instead of ''mňe''. For etymological reasons, ''mně'' is written in some words (''je'''mn'''ý'', "soft" -> ''je'''mn'''ě'', "softly").
