''sèimheachadh'' - a process by which the nature of a stop consonant is changed to a fricative. A stop (eg Gaelic p t c) is produced by blocking your speech tract at some point (eg at the lips for p) and then suddenly releasing. A fricative is produced by constricting the vocal tract without closing it off (eg narrowing the lips for Gaelic f.) Do NOT confuse this with aspiration, which is an entirely different process, although sometimes people confuse these two terms.

Symbols

< >

Why all these brackets? Linguists have come up with these three different brackets to get around having to literally say all the time whether some word you are citing is in normal spelling or phonemes or something else. It simply saves time and typing. Angled brackets are used for giving words or sentences in "normal" orthography. For example: <a' ghaoth a tuath is a' ghrian> <the north wind and the sun>

[ ]

Square brackets indicate phonetic transcription. For example: [əɣˈɯːiatˈua s̩ əʝɾˈiːən̴̪] [t'n̩ˈɔːʷθ wɪnd ɛ̈n t'sʌn]
