II/ Notes
The Russian l is velar, it is pronounced as English well or as the old French chevals: one pronounced then s of the plural (that is why the pronunciation was then modified in "cheva-or "Then" chevo "writes Chevaux)
At the end of the word, the sound consonants become deaf, as in German, they pronounce then: b > p v > f g > k d > t z > s
The Russian has 5 vocalic phonemes noted by 10 graphemes:
| a | e | i | o | u | |
| а | э | ы | о | у | After a hard consonant |
| я | е | и | ё | ю | After a soft consonant or yod |
Examples
(In brackets the transcription & bracketed phonetics)
| ад (ad) [at] Hell | яд (jad) [jat] Fish |
| мыло (mylo) [milo] soap | мило (milo) [mjilo] nice |
| лук (luk) [luk] onion | люк (ljuk) [ljuk] hatch |
These wet sounds are not necessarily transcribed in French. Thus the name of the first president of Russia was Борис Ельцин in Russian, Boris Yeltsin in English and French: Boris Yeltsin (but pronouncing "Yeltsin").
