Phonemic orthography
(重定向自Phonemic alphabet)
A phonemic orthography is an orthography (system for writing a language) in which the graphemes (written symbols) correspond to the phonemes (significant spoken sounds) of the language. Languages rarely have perfectly phonemic orthographies; a high degree of grapheme-phoneme correspondence can be expected in orthographies based on alphabetic writing systems, but they differ in the degree to which they are in fact fully phonemic. English orthography, for example, is alphabetic but highly nonphonemic. However, Italian and Finnish orthographic systems come much closer to being consistent phonemic representations.
