What is a "digraph"?
A digraph is a pair of letters that together represent a single sound or phoneme in a language. This combination can consist of two consonants, two vowels, or a consonant and a vowel. For example, in English, the "ch" in "chair" represents a unique sound that is not the sum of the individual letters' sounds. Similarly, the "ea" in "bread" produces a distinct vowel sound. Digraphs are important in phonetics and linguistics because they help illustrate how sounds are represented in writing, contributing to the understanding of spelling patterns and pronunciation rules in different languages.
Example
In the word " ship, " the letters " sh " form a digraph representing the sound /ʃ/.
Sa salitang 'barko,' ang mga letra na 'sh' ay bumubuo ng digrupo na kumakatawan sa tunog na /ʃ/.
Children learning to read often practice recognizing common digraphs like " ch " and " ph. "
Ang mga bata na natututo magbasa ay madalas na nag-eensayo sa pagkilala ng mga karaniwang digrupo tulad ng "ch" at "ph."
