PS. Part of the difficulty may be that I am not a native speaker. I know all US states names in the quiz, but still their letter combinations don't come automatically. But probably it is same in my native language Finnish, like city name Jyväskylä with vowels "yäyä", they must be dug out of the whole gestalt of word.
It's not my idea entirely, there has been something like this for countries and the opposite quiz for U.S states.
What do the dots above the a signify in Finnish.?
ps. Don't really see many Finns on the English JetPunk. Though, your name has Soumi in it.
Graphemes are letters and phonemes sounds in the system of a language, how they are used to distinguish words from each other. In Finnish letter to sound correspondence is very high, so distinctive written form (almost) always means distinction in pronunciation. In English writing system is older and sound changes have broken the 1:1 correspondence. For example state New Jersey has in writing three e-vowels, but in pronounciation zero, if I interpret it correctly.
Dots above ä and ö in Finnish writing mean, like in Swedish and Estonian, that they are front vowels instead of back vowels a and o. As with all phonemes, this distinction is used to distinguish words from each other, like in Finnish examples:
vahan 'wax (genitive case)'
vähän 'a few, not much'
soi 'is/was ringing'
söi 'ate'
Words look very similar, but are not at all related in meaning, like for example "map" and "nap" in English.
New - U sound, kinda like Nyu
Jer- Is this a E sound?
Sey- [S/Z]i
