Russian is an ancient, complex, but extremely beautiful and melodic language. The fundamental point in it is the alphabet, rich in consonants and vowels and allowing you to make any combination of sound forms.
The smallest and indivisible particles that can be easily pronounced and heard are sounds in it. They exist in written and oral form and are intended to form differences in words and morphemes. Without these particles, any speech would become not only "poor", but also difficult to pronounce.
There are thirty-six consonants and six vowels in Russian. This situation arises in view of the main feature of word-component graphics, since the softness of agreed sounds cannot be indicated by a deaf letter, but only by a voiced or soft sign.
We can only pronounce consonants if there is an obstacle in the way of the air stream, which is formed by the lower lip or tongue when they approach, or when they close with the upper lip, teeth or palate.
During the overcoming of the crack or bow by the air flow, noise is generated, whichis the main component of sounds: there is a combination of noise and tone in voiced, and in deaf people it is their main component. Therefore, consonants are subdivided on the basis of "voicedness-deafness".
Voiced consonants consist only of noise and voice. These include: , [p], [c], [n], [g], [m], [d], [l], [h], their soft pairs, as well as [d '] and [g]. During their pronunciation, the flow of air that passes through the obstruction affects and causes the vocal cords to vibrate.
When pronouncing voiceless consonants, the vocal cords remain completely relaxed. They are pronounced without a voice and consist only of noise. The following are considered deaf: [x], [k], [f], [p], [t], [s] and their corresponding soft sounds, as well as [u '] and [w], [c] and [h '].
On the basis of "hardness-softness" consonants have one single main difference, which is the location of the tongue. It shifts slightly forward when pronouncing soft sounds, and its middle part rises to the sky. While when pronouncing solid, the main part of it goes back.
According to "hardness-softness" sounds form 15 pairs. Solid unpaired - [c], [w], [g], and [d '], [u '] and [h '] - soft consonants. Others - [w] and [w'] - do not have pairs, since they differ in such criteria as "hardness-softness" and "shortness-longitude".
Consonant sounds that are formed during the closing of the organs of speech and due to the explosion of air when they are quickly opened, are classified as stop. These are [p], [k], , [d], [g], [t].
Closing-transient sounds [n], [m] and [l] are so called, because the tip of the tongue closes tightly with the upper jaw, but gaps are formed between its edge and the side teeth, due to which air comes out. When a narrow hole is formed during the pronunciation of sounds, resembling a gap, then such consonants are called slotted sounds. These include the following: [w], [h], [s], [x], [g], [f] and [h].
The correct understanding of sound forms and the ability to define them in words is the main component of the Russian language. Who "has power" over vowel-consonant letters, the school curriculum is easier for him.
