- languages, such as Gr****, do not have word-internal
phonemic consonant geminates.
Consonant gemination and
vowel length are
independent in
languages like...
-
singleton or
geminate.
Geminate consonants shorten the
preceding vowel (or
block phonetic lengthening) and the
first element of the
geminate is unreleased...
-
grades of
geminate consonants did not
merge with the
strong grades of the
singleton consonants in Proto-Finnic, and
still counted as
geminates for the purposes...

Spanish is
marked by
palatalization of the
Latin double consonants (
geminates) nn and ll (thus

- a long vowel.
Before a
geminate, all
vowels are short. A
segment such as tugg,
where a
short vowel is
followed by a
geminate consonant, is very slightly...
- and ⟨gh⟩ in the
modern knight (/naɪt/).
Doubled consonants are
geminated; the
geminate fricatives ⟨ff⟩, ⟨ss⟩ and ⟨ðð⟩/⟨þþ⟩/⟨ðþ⟩/⟨þð⟩ are
always voiceless...
-
phonemically voiced geminates. In some cases,
voiced geminate obstruents can
optionally be
replaced with the
corresponding voiceless geminate phonemes: バッド...
- w may be
geminated (doubled),
though geminate r only
occurs in ideophones. (
Geminate consonants are
written double.) Q is
inherently geminate and may occur...
-
approximant [ʎ] is most
often realised as a
singleton or
geminate lateral [ʎ(ː)] or a
singleton or
geminate fricative [ʝ(ː)], and
sometimes as a
glide [j] (cf...
-
frication noise,
which is
shorter for affricates. When
affriates are
geminated, it is the
duration of the
plosive closure that is lengthened, not that...
