Luxembourgish phonologyThis article aims to describe the phonology and phonetics of central Luxembourgish, which is regarded as the emerging standard. The consonant inventory of Luxembourgish is quite similar to that of Standard German. /m, p, b/ are bilabial, /pf/ is bilabial-labiodental, whereas /f, v/ are labiodental. /pf/ occurs only in loanwords from Standard German. Just as among many native German-speakers, it tends to be simplified to [f] word-initially. For example, Pflicht ('obligation') is pronounced [fliɕt], or in careful speech [pfliɕt].

MathematicsMathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them.
