message: So I come to this page trying to find out about words like foetus/fetus and anaemic/anemic ( British/American spellings ),   and the way they are sometimes printed with the letters stuck together.  Seems these are digraphs which should get a mention on this page somewhere.Eregli bob (talk) 05:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Well ligatures are a typography issue,   which is not the whole story with anemic and anaemic.   If it was just about ligatures,  it would be a question of whether the "a" and "e" are stuck together,  and not a question about why Americans leave out the second "a" in anaemic entirely.  So really,  there are three variant spellings,   anemic, anaemic and an<ae>mic with the "a" and "e" stuck together.  I think it is a digraph.   Anyhow it is a very common source of confusion and should be mentioned somewhere.  And why isn't the capital of Arizona Phenix ?Eregli bob (talk) 22:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The section on Spanish digraphs seems to say the reverse of the Spanish textbook !Claro Que Si! 3rd Edition by Garner, Rusch, and Dominguez, Houghton Mifflin Company 1996.  The textbook says that ch and ll were eliminated from the alphabet in 1994, but the article says "they are both considered part of the alphabet".  The textbook also lists rr as a letter in its alphabet, but the article says that it was never a letter.  Not really my field, but I remember learning rr as part of the alphabet in Spanish class decades ago, so I checked.--Wikimedes (talk) 08:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Some linguists I have asked suggest "diphone" (or "triphone"). However, unlike "digraph", a diphone can mean any combination of two phonemes, not just such a combination that is represented by one grapheme. Perhaps a descriptive term like "diphonemic grapheme" would work. Simon Abbott (talk) 12:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

message: :"〈eu〉 represents /ɔ͡ʏ/ (open-mid back rounded vowel) followed by (near-close near-front rounded vowel)"
E.g. "Europa" (Europe) is "[ɔɪ̯ˈʀoːpa]" at de.wikti and "/ɔʏ̯ˈʁoːpa/" at en.wikti. So is it "<eu> = /ɔ͡ʏ/", "<eu> = /ɔʏ̯/" or "<eu> = /ɔɪ̯/"?
:"〈ss〉 [..]. In German, this digraph was fused into the letter ß."
That's wrong or at least misleading. <ſz> (or sometimes <ſs>) became <ß>, thus the German name "Eszett" or "Esszett", which comes from "Ess" (<S>, <ſ> (long s) and ) and "Zett" (<Z> and <z>).

thread_title:  digraph = ligature? 

message: The introduction ends up on
"a ligature involves a graphical combination of two characters, as when a and e are fused into æ." This is a bad example since æ is not a ligature. It is a separate letter. It might have evolved as a ligature, but is not. The sub-characters a and e in never separated in the languages that uses æ as such, and always separated in the language that do not. Other examples are œ and &. 
If there is a need for an example of ligature, we can use tt, ff, fi, etc. NicGambarde (talk) 07:49, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
