西里尔字母

AI overview

Ы/ы (called "Y" in modern Russian) is a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet that represents a vowel sound similar to "i" but pronounced further back in the mouth, and it appears in Russian and Belarusian after hard consonants. This letter is important because it marks a key distinction in these languages between how consonants are pronounced—whether they are "hard" or "soft"—which affects the meaning of words.

Ы, ы(俄語:ы、еры)是一个西里尔字母,它源于Ъ与І的连字Ꙑ。在俄语、白俄罗斯语和卢森尼亚语中放在非顎音化(硬音)辅音之後的/i/。因为发音的缘故,在硬音辅音之後的/i/被紧缩成/ɨ/。 俄语中ы不会出现在字首或是字母г, к, х, ж, ч, ш, щ之後(此時須改寫為и),但有一些例外,如动词ыкать(去发Ы的音),以及数个专有名词或外来词,如:粤语拼音吴姓Ын(粵拼:ng4),萨哈共和国的村落Ытык-Кюёль(Ytyk-Kiuiol)、萨哈共和国的河流Ыгыатта(Ygyatta)、隋朝时高句丽將軍 Ыльчи Мундок(乙支文德,Eulchi Mundok)。 乌克兰语中,由于没有/ɨ/的发音,因此这个字母不被使用。乌克兰语字母表中,Yery与[i]的合并在19世纪下半叶发生。乌克兰语学者格利高里·皮夫特拉克认为,该字母由于[ɨ]与[i]发生融合而被用来表示[ɪ]发音的字母и取代。乌克兰语中又从其他来源新发展出了[i]的发音,后者则用⟨i⟩来表示。
