Summary

Description

This is one of two images for showing the difference between phonology and phonetics. The other image is Image:Phonological_Diagram_of_modern_Arabic_and_Hebrew_vowels.png The circles contain the vowel sounds of Standard Arabic (left) and Israeli Hebrew (right), in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Those are the sounds that must be produced for an acceptable pronunciation, more respected by the native speakers, even if not necessary for comprehension. In the actual sounds, in contradistinction to the phonemes, modern Arabic and Hebrew share none between them. The vowels of modern Arabic are more like those of English and German, while those of modern Hebrew are more like those of Italian and Spanish, therefore natives of one language who have not mastered the pronunciation of the other are easy to spot by native speakers of that other, even if they manage to make the phonological distinctions that enable comprehension of their words.

I made the images with the GIMP, version 2.2.8. An SVG version would obviously be better, but I am not sure MediaWiki supports the correct display of SVG with Unicode characters. If you know, by all means create SVG versions to replace these PNG images.

Other versions
This text image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Phonetic Diagram of modern Arabic and Hebrew vowels.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
