^{Voiced and Voiceless Consonants}

 ^{Russian consonants may be voiced and voiceless. You know some of these consonants already.}

Voiced	б в г д ж з	м н л р
voiceless	п ф к т ш с

^{As you can see the voiced consonants л, м, н, р have no pairs. In speech the paired sounds may pass from one to another “losing”, or “gaining” voice. These changes depend on the position of a sound in a word and on neighbouring consonants.}

^{1. Voiced consonants are pronounced as voiceless at the end of the word:}

сад [сат]         a garden

нож [нош]         a knife

клуб [клуп]       a club

2. Voiced consonants become voiceless before voiceless consonants:

 ,      ,
ложка [лошкъ]     a spoon

^{3. Voiceless consonants become voiced before all voiced consonants except л, м, н, р, в:}

^{вокзал [в^ гзал]                                 a railway station}

^{как вас зовут [как ваз з^вут]         what is your name?}

^{это наш дом [этъ наж дом]             this is our house}

 ^{4. Before л, м, н, р and в the voiceless consonants are pronounced as voiceless:}

^{слово [словъ]                                       a word}

^{5. The consonant л, м, н, р are pronounced as voiced before the voiceless consonants; they don’t have voiceless counterparts:}

^{булка [булкъ]                                         round bread}

6. ^{It is important not to confuse the voiced consonants with the voiceless consonants because they often differentiate the meaning of the words:}

^{борт - порт        a side - a port            ваза - фаза                a vase - a phase}

^{жар - пар           hit - a globe               год - кот                    a year - a cat}
