Abha Arabic is a dialect of Arabic (ISO 693-3: ara), belonging to the Semitic language family group, and spoken primarily in Abha city. Abha Arabic can be broadly classified as a variety of Arabic from the Arabian Peninsula group (Versteegh, 2014), and further sub-classified as a south (-west) Arabian dialect (Ingham, 1982). Abha city is the administrative capital of the province of Asir, in south-west Saudi Arabia (Figure 1). The population of Abha is approximately 290,185 and that of the Asir province is 1,601,725, according to the most recent data on the population (General Authority for Statistics, 2010). The province is named after the Asir tribe, who first inhabited Abha and the surrounding regions. The present day Abha Arabic dialect thus represents a blending of Bedouin and urban dialects. The first settlers to Abha were the Bani-Mghed tribe (an Asir tribe) followed by three additional Asir tribes (Alkam, Rabiah w Rufeda, Bani-Malik) and other nearby tribes such as the Gahtaːn, Bal-lahmir, Bal-lasmir, Shahran, Rejal Alma’, all of which had distinct dialects (Al-Azraqi, 1998). These dialects merged to varying degrees and were further influenced by urban education and mass media, which were and continue to be dominated by Modern Standard Arabic (henceforth MSA) (Al-Azraqi, 1998).1
阿卜哈阿拉伯语是阿拉伯语的一种方言(ISO 693-3: ara),属于闪米特语系,主要在阿卜哈市使用。Abha阿拉伯语可以大致归类为阿拉伯半岛组的各种阿拉伯语(Versteegh, 2014),并进一步细分为南(西)阿拉伯方言(Ingham, 1982)。阿卜哈市是沙特阿拉伯西南部阿西尔省的行政首府(图1)。根据最新的人口数据(统计总局,2010年),阿卜哈的人口约为290,185,阿西尔省的人口为1,601,725。这个省是以阿西尔部落命名的,他们最初居住在阿卜哈及其周边地区。因此,今天的阿卜哈阿拉伯语方言代表了贝都因人和城市方言的混合。Abha的第一批定居者是Bani-Mghed部落(一个Asir部落),随后是另外三个Asir部落(Alkam, Rabiah w Rufeda, Bani-Malik)和其他附近的部落,如Gahta - n, Bal-lahmir, Bal-lasmir, Shahran, Rejal Alma ',所有这些部落都有独特的方言(Al-Azraqi, 1998)。这些方言在不同程度上合并,并进一步受到城市教育和大众媒体的影响,这些教育和大众媒体曾经并继续由现代标准阿拉伯语(以下简称MSA)主导(Al-Azraqi, 1998)

Nuer (ISO 6393: nus/Glottocode: nuer1246) is a Nilo-Saharan language (Nilo-Saharan, Eastern Sudanic, Nilotic, Western, Dinka-Nuer). The sound system of Nuer is of particular interest because the language has a rich inventory of vocalic and suprasegmental distinctions, including a large number of vowel phonemes, a voice quality contrast (modal versus breathy), three levels of vowel length, and a tonal inventory that interacts with the voice quality contrast.

This study investigates interactions among relative syllabic prominence, initial geminates (IGs), and prosodic boundaries in Pattani Malay (PM) against a background of previous analyses claiming that IGs are moraic and trigger a ‘stress shift’ or the linking of a pitch accent to the initial syllable. We conducted an acoustic study with fourteen PM speakers, producing singleton–IG minimal pairs in naturalistic sentences. Our results show that the presence of IGs is not associated with the hypothesized phonological changes. Instead, it is associated with moderate increases in the duration of initial syllables, the intensity of the initial syllable vowels, and the f0 of the initial and final syllable vowels. On the other hand, the presence of a phrase-final prosodic boundary correlates with more drastic changes: in phrase-final position, final syllables exhibit final lengthening and falling contours of f0 and intensity, while, in the phrase-medial position, no lengthening is observed and f0 contours are rising. Furthermore, the effects of IGs are strongest in the phrase-final position, suggesting interactions between IGs and prosodic boundaries. Taken together, results cast doubts on the claim that IGs are moraic and associated with categorical differences in syllabic prominence profiles in PM and show that IG effects are modulated by prosodic boundaries.

Tima (ISO 639-3: tms) is a Niger-Congo language spoken by roughly 7,000 people in the Nuba mountains of Sudan, in north-eastern Africa, as well as in smaller communities in the bigger towns of Sudan such as Khartoum and Port Sudan. It is part of the Katla language group which includes the languages Katla and Julut as well as Tima, with Tima being the most distinct of the three. All three languages are regarded as endangered, mainly due to the spreading influence of Arabic in recent decades, but also due to greater speaker mobility. Broadly speaking, there is a decline in speaker fluency from older to younger speakers of Tima. The Tima people are not only exposed to Arabic as the lingua franca and official language of Sudan, but also to English and Kiswahili. These latter languages were introduced into the school system during the extremely difficult circumstances of the second civil war (1983–2005), when teachers from Kenya came to the Tima region (in addition, many Tima people went to Kenya for further education). 1
Tima (ISO 639-3: tms)是一种尼日尔-刚果语,大约有7000人在非洲东北部苏丹的努巴山区使用,也在苏丹较大城镇的较小社区使用,如喀土穆和苏丹港。它是卡特拉语族的一部分,该语族包括卡特拉语、Julut语和Tima语,Tima语是三者中最独特的。这三种语言都被认为是濒临灭绝的,主要是由于近几十年来阿拉伯语的影响不断扩大,但也由于说话人的流动性更大。总的来说,说蒂玛语的老年人和年轻人的流利程度有所下降。提马人不仅接触到作为苏丹通用语和官方语言的阿拉伯语,还接触到英语和斯瓦希里语。后两种语言在第二次内战(1983-2005)的极端困难环境中被引入学校系统,当时来自肯尼亚的教师来到提马地区(此外,许多提马人去肯尼亚接受进一步教育)。1

Abstract Using electroglottography and acoustic measures, we characterize the strength and quality of voicing in voiced aspirated and unaspirated consonants (stops, fricatives, and approximants) in Yemba (Grassfields Bantu, Cameroon). We show that the Yemba voiced aspirates exhibit mixed voicing : modal voicing during the consonant constriction, but voiceless aspiration after release. Breathy or whispery phonation extends slightly into consonant constrictions preceding, and across the entire duration of vowels following, aspiration; this non-modal phonation extends further into prenasalized consonants. Mixed voicing has typically been excluded from the possible range of laryngeal–supralaryngeal coordinative patterns in consonants, and is thought to be unattested in the world’s languages; most previous work on this topic assumes that non-modal phonation after voiced consonant release is breathy-voiced. However, we argue that Yemba voiced aspirates differ from more commonly studied breathy-release aspirates only in the settings of some gestural parameters: the late glottal spread gesture is larger in magnitude and more resistant to coarticulation, yielding consistently devoiced aspiration which may even be more perceptually recoverable compared to breathiness.

Abstract This paper investigates the production of dental and retroflex stops, fricatives, nasals, and laterals in the Dravidian language Kannada. This is done using articulatory contours extracted from an extensive midsagittal MRI corpus of two female Kannada speakers’ static vocal tract postures intended to capture key aspects of phonemic articulations. Articulatory modelling was used to determine a set of components responsible for the implementation of place and manner contrasts (/t̪ s̪ n̪ l̪/ vs. /ʈ ʂ ɳ ɭ/). These components included both lingual and non-lingual articulatory parameters. Constriction location and length were also determined based on articulatory contours. The results showed that the two speakers produced non-fricative retroflexes with a retracted tongue tip making a constriction behind the alveolar ridge and a characteristic convex tongue shape, yet without a retraction of the posterior portion of the tongue. Apart from the lingual parameters, place differences were also manifested by the vertical position of the larynx (lower for retroflexes). The realisation of the place contrast in sibilant fricatives was different, as /ʂ/ appeared to be produced by both speakers with a laminal alveolopalatal constriction. Manner differences were captured by various non-lingual parameters, yet being also manifested in constriction locations (more anterior for stops). These findings are discussed in the context of previous descriptive and articulatory accounts of dental-retroflex contrasts.
摘要本文研究了德拉威语卡纳达语中牙和反折止音、摩擦音、鼻音和侧音的产生。这是通过从两个女性卡纳达语使用者的静态声道姿势的广泛正中矢状核磁共振语料库中提取的发音轮廓来完成的,旨在捕捉音位发音的关键方面。发音建模用于确定一组负责执行地点和方式对比的组件(/t / s / n / l / vs / /)。这些成分包括语言和非语言发音参数。根据关节轮廓确定收缩位置和长度。结果表明,这两名说话者的舌尖在舌槽脊后收缩,舌形呈凸状,但舌后部没有收缩。除舌参数外,位置差异还表现在喉的垂直位置(后屈者较低)。在重读摩擦音中位置对比的实现是不同的,因为/ /似乎是由两个说话者用层状肺泡腭收缩产生的。各种非语言参数捕获了方式差异,但也表现在收缩位置(更前止音)。这些发现是在以前的描述性和发音的背景下讨论的牙齿-反射对比。

Armenian ( or , /hɑjeˈɾen/, ISO 639-1 hy) comprises an independent branch of the Indo-European language family. 1 Its earliest attested ancestor is Classical Armenian in the fifth century CE (see Godel 1975; Thomson 1989; DeLisi 2015; Macak 2016). Modern Armenian is classified into two dialect families: Eastern Armenian (ISO 639-3 hye) and Western Armenian (ISO 639-3 hyw). Eastern Armenian is spoken in modern-day Armenia, and large speaker communities also exist in Georgia, Russia and Iran (shown in Figure 1). Western Armenian was historically spoken in the Ottoman Empire, but now includes varieties spoken throughout the Armenian diaspora in the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas (Donabédian 2018). There are substantial Western Armenian speaker communities in Turkey (Istanbul), Lebanon (Beirut), Syria (Aleppo, Damascus), California (Fresno, Los Angeles County), France (Marseilles), Australia (Sydney) and Argentina (Buenos Aires). There are also recent diaspora communities of Eastern Armenian speakers in California (Karapetian 2014), as well as communities of Western Armenian speakers in Armenia who escaped the Armenian genocide during World War I, who repatriated after World War II, or who fled the ongoing Syrian civil war. UNESCO lists Western Armenian as an endangered language in Turkey, and there are significant language promotion efforts in many diaspora communities that are intended to combat declining use by speaker generations born in the Americas and Europe (Al-Bataineh 2015; Chahinian & Bakalian 2016).
亚美尼亚语(或,/h æ je [h] en/, ISO 639-1 hy)是印欧语系的一个独立分支。它最早被证实的祖先是公元5世纪的古典亚美尼亚人(见哥德尔1975;汤姆森1989;DeLisi 2015;Macak 2016)。现代亚美尼亚语分为两个方言家族:东亚美尼亚语(ISO 639- 3hye)和西亚美尼亚语(ISO 639- 3hyw)。东亚美尼亚语在今天的亚美尼亚使用,在格鲁吉亚、俄罗斯和伊朗也存在大量的使用者群体(如图1所示)。西亚美尼亚语历史上是在奥斯曼帝国使用的,但现在包括了在中东、欧洲和美洲的亚美尼亚侨民使用的各种语言(donabsamdian 2018)。在土耳其(伊斯坦布尔)、黎巴嫩(贝鲁特)、叙利亚(阿勒颇、大马士革)、加利福尼亚(弗雷斯诺、洛杉矶县)、法国(马赛)、澳大利亚(悉尼)和阿根廷(布宜诺斯艾利斯)都有大量讲西部亚美尼亚语的社区。最近在加利福尼亚也有东部亚美尼亚语的侨民社区(Karapetian 2014),以及亚美尼亚西部亚美尼亚语社区,他们在第一次世界大战期间逃离了亚美尼亚种族灭绝,在第二次世界大战后被遣返,或者逃离了正在进行的叙利亚内战。联合国教科文组织将西亚美尼亚语列为土耳其的濒危语言,许多侨民社区开展了大量语言推广工作,旨在应对美洲和欧洲出生的几代人使用西亚美尼亚语的情况下降(Al-Bataineh 2015;Chahinian,Bakalian 2016)。

The Lithuanian language, together with Latvian, belongs to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family and to the group of Eastern Baltic languages. The two surviving Baltic languages have many common features of phonemic inventories: opposition of long and short vowels, an abundance of diphthongs, a system of pitch accent. They have also developed substantial differences, e.g. Latvian has fixed stress and a set of palatal consonants, while Lithuanian has free (distinctive) stress and a phonological opposition between palatalized and non-palatalized consonants (Poliakovas 2008: 9, 42; Dini 2019: 577; Jaroslavienė et al. 2019: 263; Gelumbeckaitė & Pakerys 2020). In contrast to other Indo-European languages, the Baltic languages have lost j between a consonant and a front vowel, and have preserved m, rather than assimilated it, before the dental consonants d, t, which has not become n1 (Endzelynas 1957: 8). Lithuanian has preserved the manner of articulation of Indo-European plosive consonants (Bonfante 2008: 40). As a result of the continuous and long-lasting contact of Baltic with Slavic languages, these language groups also share common linguistic features (discussed later).
