| Definitions |
A letter is can often be mapped to a particular speech sound. However, in many alphabetical writing systems (especially in "opaque" vs. "transparent" orthographies) there is not a one-to-one mapping between letters and speech sounds. A letter is a graphical representation of a grapheme, which is the smallest contrastive unit in a segmental alphabetical writing system. |
