Umlaut (English notation)

Japanese: ウムラウト(英語表記)Umlaut
Umlaut (English notation)
A phenomenon unique to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family, in which the vowel of a stressed syllable is assimilated into the next syllable, such as i, ī, j, u, etc. Examples: Old High German singular kraft (strength), plural krefti; Old English singular nominative burg (city), singular genitive and dative, plural nominative byrig. In modern German, ä, ö, ü are called umlauts in contrast to a, o, u, but these are forms that arise by analogy as well as forms that arise originally from the umlaut phenomenon.
