Specific Pashto Phonemes: An Analytical Study
Abstract
Language is collection of sounds and their number in all languages might be as many as they should be but the phonemes are very specific and are numbered quantitatively in comparison with other sounds of a language .These sounds( phonemes) are very essential for a language as they provide with ways and means of writing and speaking correctly. Phonemes are never thought to be meaningless as they are very decisive in imparting and conveying message accurately. They, when are shaped up as words, turned out to be called graphemes.In these Pashto phonemes four are specipic phonemes I.e څ،ځ،ږ،ښ ،Khyal Bukhari,Dr Khalid Khan Khattak,Perishan Khattak do not consider them phoneme and are of the considered opinion that phonemes represent other Pashto dialects like Yousafzai and Kandahari as substitute, and are made for addressing the dialectical variations. It is strived in this paper to prove in accordance with the principles of Phonetics that these particular words or sounds are separate phonemes, and are pronounced very accurately by speakers of different tribes. They have their specific sounds and point of articulation and are different from the substitute sounds.
