In the Lithuanian language, diacritical marks are used to modify certain letters, known as “modified letters,” to indicate specific sounds. The Lithuanian alphabet includes the following modified letters with diacritics:
- Ą (a with ogonek): Pronounced as /ɔ̃/. Example: “mąstyti” (to think).
- Č (c with caron): Pronounced as /tʃ/. Example: “čia” (here).
- Ę (e with ogonek): Pronounced as /ɛ̃/. Example: “tęsti” (to continue).
- Ė (e with dot above): Pronounced as /ɛ/. Example: “ėti” (to eat).
- Į (i with ogonek): Pronounced as /ɪ̃/. Example: “pįsti” (to smell).
- Š (s with caron): Pronounced as /ʃ/. Example: “šiltas” (warm).
- Ų (u with ogonek): Pronounced as /ʊ̃/. Example: “gerti” (to drink).
- Ū (u with macron): Pronounced as /uː/. Example: “ūkininkas” (farmer).
- Ž (z with caron): Pronounced as /ʒ/. Example: “žalia” (green).
These modified letters with diacritics play a crucial role in Lithuanian orthography, as they indicate distinct sounds and are essential for correct pronunciation and spelling. It is important to use the appropriate diacritics when writing in Lithuanian to accurately represent the language’s unique phonetics.
