Some aspects of spelling and sound inconsistencies in English

Abstract EN

Unlike English, many other languages have a very high correspondence between sound and spelling.

so, learners of English as a second language may need to have their attention drawn to the different possibilities for pronunciation in English.

this paper is intended to show how English language lacks a correspondence among letters and sounds.

English has twenty vowels and twenty-four consonants, and hence, forty-four phonemes in total.

besides, the English orthography includes just twenty-six letters, which may be employed in symbolizing the forty-four phonemes.

each English phoneme contains board methods of symbolization.

although some English words are inscribed by steady and regular spelling, there remains a substantial deposit of words that have irregular spelling.
