Introduction

Language complexity is increasing parallel with the human evolution. Evolution of Human Language in our ancestors had analogous the same patterns of the language development in our children. Their language capability is increased layer upon layer untill they speak the fully mature language in the adulthood. Two-letter words in the Albanian language are mainly interest of the data mining, data science, linguists, neuroscience, neurolinguistics but also who plays word games.

Methodology and Materials

Social media Facebook and Twitter were used for the data in this work. One Gram words were selected from main Corpus. The two-letter words analysed in the comparative phonological approaches. The words presented in the table does not have any distinguished grammatical category but resembles strong phonological variation. The two-letter words selected were applied phonological analysis with ‘tuneR’ Package in the recorded sounds. Upon the differences in the vowel frequency, were selected nearest phonological symbol from International Phonetic Alphabet(IPA). Adaptive Phonetic symbols were used in the table to distinguish the differences of the phonetic words morphology.

Results:

During analysis, were applied differences in the voice frequency to the two-letters words that have same writing pattern and have a different meaning. We have found that majority of the discrepancies between modern writing and phonological expression are between high and low-frequency vowels. Differences are expressed at most between the vowels A, E and I, U with p-value = 0.014.

Conclusions:

The results revealed that differences are more pronounced with vowels A and E compared with vowels I and U. Vowels A and E have more modalities in the same writing pattern for the two letters words.
We think that such varieties have a relevant impact in the child language acquisition and in the second-language learning. Although needs more advance research about trending of these differences particularly nowadays of social media languages impact.
