The goal is to determine whether this Khmer dialect still preserves this historical contrast. Out of seven acoustic parameters measured, four, namely H1 H2; H1 A1; H1 A3; and vowel RMS amplitude successfully distinguished between breathy and clear vowels, with H1 H2 measured at the beginning of the vowel being the most… CONTINUE READING
