The Nature of "f" and "v" in Frisian and Marathi

Tiersma, Peter Meijes

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 1, 17-24, Jan 75

Dental fricatives are examined within the two languages to show that the phonemes do not differ merely in voicing. Frisian has a "v" which is phonologically related to "w." Marathi has an aspirated "v." The use of "f" and "v" in English by speakers of Marathi and Flemish is also examined. (SC)
