Meaning of Digraf
A combination of two letters representing a single sound or phoneme within a spelling system. In standard Indonesian, there are four official `digraphs`, namely *kh*, *ng*, *ny*, and *sy*, each representing a distinct consonant sound whose function cannot be separated.
- dwihurufA more descriptive Indonesian technical equivalent.
- gabungan hurufA more general and less technical descriptive equivalent for 'digraf', often used in language teaching contexts or popular explanations for lay speakers unfamiliar with formal linguistic terminology.
- bigrafAn alternative term occasionally used in linguistics to refer to a combination of two letters representing a single sound, though 'digraf' is more dominant in standard Indonesian orthography.
- fonemNot a direct synonym, but closely related conceptually; digraf is the graphic representation of a single phoneme, so in phonological contexts both are often discussed together in formal academic discourse.
