'''Rž vs. Řř''' | '''Rž vs. Řř''' | ||
The digraph ‹Rž,rž› and the letter ‹Ř,ř› have complementary distribution in certain word positions. While both can occur in word-initial and word-medial position, ‹Rž,rž› can never occur word-finally, while ‹Ř,ř› can. This distribution can lead to some minimal pairs. | The digraph ‹Rž,rž› and the letter ‹Ř,ř› have complementary distribution in certain word positions.

There are two ways in Czecklish to write long [uː]: ‹ú› or ‹ů›. Historically, long ‹ú› changed into the diphthong ‹ou› [oʊ] . In Middle Czecklish ‹ou› at the beginning of word-roots monophthongized into ‹ú›. Thus, the letter ‹ú› is written at the beginning of words and word-roots only. | There are two ways in Czecklish to write long [uː]: ‹ú› or ‹ů›.

Long ‹ó› [oː] changed into the diphthong ‹uo› [ʊo]. The letter ‹o› in the diphthong was sometimes written as a ring above the letter ‹u›: ‹ů›. Later, the pronunciation changed into [uː], but the grapheme ‹ů› has remained.<br /> | Long ‹ó› [oː] changed into the diphthong ‹uo› [ʊo].
