	Allophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In phonetics, an allophone is one of several similar phones that belong to the same phoneme.
		Each allophone is used in a specific phonetic context and many times there is some sort of phonological process.
		For example, [pʰ] as in pin and [p] as in cap are allophones for the phoneme /p/ in the English language because they occur in complementary distribution.

		In phonetics, an allophone is one of several similar phones or speech sounds, that belong to the same phoneme.
		For example, p as in pin and p as in spin are allophones in the English language.
		A phone is a sound that has a definite shape as a sound wave, and an allophone is a phone considered as a member of one phoneme.

	Allophone[s] - Events, Issues and Concepts - Quebec History
		Allophone is a term used in Quebec, and in the rest of Canada, to describe people whose language is neither English nor French; the term is derived from Greek and simply means ‘other languages’.
		Aside from natives, who continue to speak in majority their ancestral languages in Quebec, and who constitute a separate category, what allophones have in common is their fairly recent immigration to Quebec.
		But starting from around 1896, immigration of allophones was to become important in Quebec, as it did in the rest of Canada.

		Each allophone is the contextually specific implementation of a phoneme.
		A phoneme as one of the abstract signals of the phonetic system of a language corresponds to a set of similar speech sounds which are perceived by speakers of the language to be a single distinctive sound in that language.
		In Quebec, an allophone is a person whose mother tongue[?] is a language other than French (Francophone) or English (Anglophone).

	Text to speech synthesis system and method using context dependent vowel allophones (US4979216) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The vowel allophone library includes a context index for associating each said vowel allophone with one or more pairs of phonemes preceding and following the corresponding vowel phoneme in a phoneme string.
		The vowel allophone generator coacts with the context index to select the proper vowel allophone, as determined by the phonemes preceding and following the specified vowel phoneme.
		As a result, the synthesized pronunciation of vowel phonemes is improved by using vowel allophone formant parameters which correspond to the context of the vowel phonemes.

	Word and Unit Models
		Allophone models of a phoneme are models of that phoneme in different contexts.
		For example, the distributions for the central portion of the allophones of a given phoneme can be tied reflecting the fact that they represent the stable (context-independent) physical realization of the central part of the phoneme, uttered with a stationary configuration of the vocal tract.
		Allophone distributions are built by considering mixtures with the same components but with different weights [DM94].

		Once suitable allophones have been selected, the problem remains of how should the sounds corresponding to a sequence of allophones be produced?
