The creator of Esperanto, L. L. Zamenhof, did not specify phonemic-phonetic correspondences for his language. Instead, he simply described the orthography as "one letter, one sound". Literally interpreted, this is impossible: Every language has allophonic variation; and so there are disagreements, for example, as to whether voicing assimilation is allowed, expected, or forbidden in sequences like kz (found in ekzemple for example). It is also unclear whether the script is completely phonemic, since v and ŭ are in nearly complementary distribution. ...more on Wikipedia about "Esperanto phonology"

Hebrew phonology must take into account that the Hebrew language has been used primarily for liturgical purposes for most of the past two millennia.

In contrast to the varied development of these pronunciations is the relatively rapid development of modern Israeli Hebrew. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hebrew phonology"

Latin orthography did not distinguish between long and short vowels. For the modern use of macrons (āēīōū) to mark long vowels, see below. Consonants written double were so pronounced (BB , CC etc.). For example anus (old woman) or ānus (ring, anus) vs. annus (year). ...more on Wikipedia about "Latin spelling and pronunciation"

Ojibwe dialects tend to have 29 phonemes: 11 vowels (seven oral and four nasal) and 18 consonants. The obstruents of Ojibwe have a lenis/ fortis contrast, but in state of transition to the voiced/ voiceless ones. In the lenis/fortis contrast classification, all consonants are considered voiceless. The fortis consonants are characterised by being pronounced more strongly and are longer in duration. They often are aspirated or preaspirated. The lenis consonants have transitioned to being voiced in many communities (although they often tend to be voiceless at the end of words). They are pronounced less strongly and are shorter in duration, compared to the fortis ones. The semivowel transcribed is actually a velar approximant, with very little labial closure at all. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ojibwe phonology"

The phonology of Old English is necessarily somewhat speculative, since it is preserved purely as a written language. Nevertheless, there is a very large corpus of Old English, and the written language apparently indicates phonological alternations quite faithfully, so it is not difficult to draw certain conclusions about the nature of Old English phonology. ...more on Wikipedia about "Old English phonology"

All but three of the 83 consonants are found in native vocabulary. The plain velars [ ] are found mainly in loans and onomatopoeia: crow (from Turkish), slat, batten (possibly from Abdzakh Adyghe), estate, legacy (from Turkish vakıf). As well, the pharyngealised labial consonants are almost exclusively noted in words where they are associated with another pharyngealised consonant (for instance, handful), but are occasionally found outside this context (the verb root is an example, meaning to explode, to burst). Finally, is mainly found in interjections and loans, with now the only real native word to contain the phoneme.
