Summary/Abstract: Phonetic deviations do not cause impediment in communication. Impediment, unintelligibility and uncertainty can be caused by phonological interferences, primarily, by under-differentiation of phonemes. The solution for phonetic deviations is articulation. The phonological deviations are not resolved by articulation movement. Ukrainians and Poles who study Macedonian are in a better position than Macedonians who study Ukrainian and Polish at least in terms of phonetics and phonology because Macedonian has significantly smaller number of voices (and phonemes), mostly as a result of the hardening of the soft consonants and neutralization of the softness opposition in the consonant system.
