sounds so as to provide illustrations of the range of the linguistic phoneticabilities of mankind.

Agul is a Nakho-Dagestanian language (Samurian subgroup of the Lezgianfamily) of the northeast Caucasus. It is spoken by approximately 12,000 peoplein southern Dagestan, USSR. The language contrasts voiced and voicelesspharyngeal fricatives with voiceless epiglottal stops and fricatives. Thesecontrasts are shown here in word-final and intervocalic position. Therecordings were made by the Russian linguist S. Kodzasov of one femalespeaker of the Burkixan dialect. The transcription [ä] is taken directly fromKodzasov’s notes and is used to denote a slightly fronted vowel.

Akan is a Kwa language of the Niger-Kordofanian family spoken byapproximately 4.5 million people in Ghana. The major dialects include Fante,Asante and Akuapem; the latter two are called Twi. The relevant phoneticcontrast illustrated here is between advanced tongue root [+ATR] vowels andtheir plain [-ATR] counterparts. These are transcribed as follows:

The contrast exists for the high and mid vowels. The low vowel [a] is [-ATR].

Two sets of X-rays accompany the sounds to illustrate tongue position of thecontrasting vowels.

Armenian is an Indo-European language with approximately 5 millionspeakers. Eastern Armenian is spoken in Armenia, northern Iran, and Turkey.

Eastern Armenian has a three-way contrast between voiced, voicelessunaspirated, and voiceless aspirated stops and affricates. While this contrastoccurs in many languages, it is unusual for it to be maintained in word-finalposition, as is the case in Eastern Armenian.
