A comparative analysis of F1 and F2 vowel frequencies from Pijal Media Lengua and Imbabura Quichua suggests that PML may be manipulating as many as eight vowels where Spanishderived high and low vowels coexist as near-mergers with their quichua-derived counterparts, while high and mid vowel coexist with partial overlap.

This chapter examines acoustic data from six speech communities in the northern Andean region of Ecuador to describe variation in the Spanish rhotics /r, ɾ/ and approximants /ʎ, j/, as well as their…
How "mixed" is mixed language phonology? An acoustic analysis of the Michif vowel system.
- Nicole L. Rosen, Jesse Stewart, Olivia N. Sammons
- LinguisticsJournal of the Acoustical Society of America
- 1 April 2020
An instrumental analysis of Michif vowels is offered and a claim of a stratified grammar is investigated, based on this careful phonetic analysis, that historically similar French and Cree vowels pattern together within the Michif system with regards to formant frequencies and duration.
