AAPKA DICTIONARY - AN OVERVIEW

There are no small pairs for tense/lax pairs for example /ʊ/ and /u/ in unstressed syllables, simply because they are in complementary distribution. They don't seem to be truly diverse phonemes.Further, it follows the same old way a 'i' is pronounced in German when followed by a consonant: brief such as the 'i' inside the English 'listing'.Extend
