 Shanghainese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Middle Chinese [ -p -t -k ] rimes have become glottal stops [ -ʔ ].
Glottal Stop “c” can be replaced by double writing the following consonantal letter except for”m,n,h”.

 Hiller 1998, "Pharyngeality, Laryngeality and..."
Accordingly, an alternate analysis is sketched that suggests that the relationship between glottals and pharyngeals in Arabic is similar to the relationship between glottals and labials in Japanese and between glottals and velars in Slovak.
The objective of this thesis is to review previous phonological results concerning articulations ranging from uvular to glottal and, above all, to reconsider the phonological relations that hold among the various articulations ``somewhere in the throat''.
A link is indeed found between glottal and pharyngeal constrictions, and what is more, this link is found independently on a phonetic basis as well as from purely phonological considerations.

 Standard Cantonese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some linguists analyze a /ʔ/ (glottal stop) when a vowel other than /i/, /u/ or /y/ begin a syllable.
However, since final-heads only appear with null initial, /k/ or /kʰ/, analyzing them as part of the initials greatly reduces the count of finals at the cost of only adding four initials.

 Articles - Voiceless glottal fricative
The term glottal only refers to the nature of its phonation, and does not describe the location of the stricture nor the turbulence.
All consonants except for the glottals, and all vowels, have an individual place of articulation in addition to the state of the glottis.
As with all other consonants, surrounding vowels influence the pronunciation [h], and [h] has sometimes been presented as a voiceless vowel, having the place of articulation of these surrounding vowels.

I admit that I have gone through phases where lots of glottals was extremely distracting to me, even when working on them WASN'T a goal of mine.

'The glottal stop found in Cockney and in many Estuary English speakers ('sa(?)elli(?)e dish' and 'Con-serva(?)ive par(?)y' for 'satellite dish' and 'con-servative Party') it is a feature belonging to these particular accents, and is not a result of sloppy speech.
Wherever the glottal stop occurs - whether in Estuary English territory or in Glasgow - it is disdained by many members of the middle and upper classes.

 BBC - Voices
The fact is that I learned at a very early age to adapt my speech to the audience: for my mother's family, being Belgian, I learned simply that slowing down and eliminating the glottals meant the difference between being understood or misunderstood!
So, in spite of my very humble beginnings (of which I am neither proud nor ashamed), I find the argument over accents rather timewasting - if there is to be some debate, let it be over what is most comprehensible to the majority.
But the ensuing debate was just not worth it!

Plan for periods of vocal rest between classes.

 LINGUIST List 15.2027: Hiatus Resolution Across Glottals
Other issues discussed included the difficulty of distinguishing glottal stop from creaky phonation, because the former is not characterized by immediate cessation of the vocal folds.
"Glottalization of word-initial vowels as a function of prosodic structure." Journal of Phonetics 24: 423-444.
If it is the latter, then the fact that hiatus resolution-like processes occur across the glottal element is not unexpected since no consonant intervenes between the two vowels.

 Places of articulation
The active[1] articulator in all these places of articulation is some part of the tongue, except for bilabials and labiodentals (whose active articulator is the lower lip) and glottals (which have just one articulator, the glottis).

This could be a statistical fallacy, of course, but I can think of more consonantal glottal stops at the moment than vowel ones.
Danish is indeed a very flat language, and it has lots of very strange sounds (mostly soft d's, glottal stops [both in connection with vowels andconsonants], and a curious habit of writing about three times as many consonants as are pronounced).

 LINGUIST List 15.1586: English 'Booting'; Hiatus Resolution
I'm currently working on vowel-vowel interactions across glottals, and have found an interesting pattern in some languages in which hiatus resolution-like patterns occur despite the presence of a glottal stop.
In some forms in which a glottal consonant intervenes between the two vowels underlyingly, the result is the deletion of the glottal stop and epenthesis of a glide: (3) Input Output Gloss a.
I'd appreciate any additional information or references you might have regarding similar patterns cross-linguistically.

 Pearic languages
This 4-way system is similar to the systems found among Vietic languages, except that the creaky phonation is definitely realised as a glottal restriction during the phonation of the vowel, rather than with the final consonant.
From the perspective of comparative phonology the reconstruction is rather incomplete - unfortunately sources were not yet available that reliably distinguished the 4 registers, and while Headley noted the phenomenon of "prefinal" glottals (as he called them) decided to leave the question "to future linguists".
As in other phonologically innovative MK groups, proto-MK voiced stops are devoiced, and the proto-implosive series is realised as plain.

 Baku - 29 May
Languages worldwide use glottals, but Georgian is unusual in giving these consonants a primary, default status in the sound system, such that foreign words borrowed into Georgian get their voiceless consonants glottalized, like it or not.
The North Caucasian languages, quite different from Kartvelian despite sharing phonetic features like glottals, have also been posited to be part of a wide, geographically sporadic family of isolated languages, from Basque to Navaho, but strong evidence for such mop-up classification is still missing.
But the Kartvelian lineage, including Georgian and Laz, may be a sibling to Indo-European, as suggested by lexical similarities (which may also reflect interfamily borrowing): Georgian for cat is k'at'a, for example, and ekvsi 'six' and shvidi 'seven' may look vaguely familiar.

Other phonetic aspects referred in this chapter include initial dropping and medial strengthening, stop contrasts, fricatives and their historical development, the question of glottals, vowels, and phonotactic features.
The chapter on 'Phonology' is especially important because here Dixon illustrates and discusses a vast number of phonetic processes that are typical for certain 'blocks of languages'.
