=== Russian === The presence of homophones in the [[Russian language]] is associated in some cases with the phenomenon of devoicing of consonants at the end of words and before another consonant sound, in other cases with the reduction of vowels in an unstressed position. Examples include: поро'''г''' — п'''о'''ро'''к''' — п'''а'''рок, лу'''г''' — лу'''к''', пло'''д''' — пло'''т''', ту'''ш''' — ту'''шь''', падё'''ж''' — падё'''шь''', ба'''л''' — ба'''лл''', ко'''сн'''ый — ко'''стн'''ый, пр'''е'''дать — пр'''и'''дать, к'''о'''мпания — к'''а'''мпания, к'''о'''сатка — к'''а'''сатка, прив'''и'''дение — прив'''е'''дение, ко'''т''' — ко'''д''', пру'''т''' — пру'''д''', т'''и'''трация — т'''е'''трация, компл'''и'''мент — компл'''е'''мент. Also, the infinitive and the present (or simple future) tense of the third person of the same verb are often pronounced the same way (in writing they differ in the presence or absence of the letter [[Soft sign|Ь]] (soft sign) before the postfix -ся): (надо) решиться — (он) решится, (хочу) строиться — (дом) строится, (металл может) гнуться — (деревья) гнутся, (должен) вернуться — (они) вернутся. This often leads to incorrect spelling of reflexive verbs ending with -ться/-тся: in some cases, Ь is mistakenly placed before -ся in the present tense of the third person, while in others, on the contrary, Ь before -ся is missing in the infinitive form.
