F
Upper Sorbian
fonem[ˈfɔ.nɛm]
noun
A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language that can distinguish one word from another.

“Dypk nad e wšak woznamjenja fonem ě, mjechkosć konsonanta před e wostanje – nimo mjechkeho n – njewoznamjenjena.”

However, a dot above e means the phoneme ě, the softness of the consonant before e remains unmarked - apart from the soft n.

Also means
  1. phoneme (smallest unit of the phonological system of a language, with distinctive value)
  2. phoneme
