Luxembourgish

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /e/, /ə/

Letter

É (lower case é)

1. A letter of the Luxembourgish alphabet, written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

• /e/ is strictly speaking an allophone of /ə/ occurring before /k/ and /ŋ/. The spelling reflects this alternation by using É instead of Ë before these latter sounds. In unstressed syllables, simple E is used. (Unstressed É does occur in French borrowings.)
• For historical reasons, É also replaces Ë in the diphthong éi and before ch, although the pronunciation is now generally [ə] in these cases.
