editIt would be wonderful to get audio samples of these sounds. The site "http://www.indiana.edu/~koreanrs/kordic.html" has some Korean pronunciations. I do not know if any of those sounds are examples of what is described in this article. -- Martin | talk • contribs 17:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Sure, in that link, if you go down to the "Qualities" folders, 'clean' 'dirty' 'cheap' 'thin' and 'fat' are examples. Classicalclarinet 13:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Pronounciation examples
editI think this article could use some sound examples of the pronunciation of those IPA things. The IPA pronunciations aren't helpful at all to laymen. Having no way to determine what the proper annunciation of the sound is, I still don't really know what the article is about. All I know is that you yawn when you speak some Thai words (?) 199.212.11.26 (talk) 23:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
199.212.11.26 has an excellent point. Every article about phonetics should include sound recorded pronunciation examples. Howard McCay (talk) 17:25, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Ejective
editI am not sure how useful it is to use the same term "faucalized" for the emphatic consonants of Korean and the breathy vowels of Dinka. Perhaps the term "ejective", currently used to describe the third tier of voiceless consonants in Georgian and Amharic, would be more appropriate for the third tier of consonants in Korean. In Georgian, Amharic, and Korean, these consonants are contrasted with a "tenuis" or "voiced" consonant series and an "aspirated" consonant series. In Georgian there are separate voiced and tenuis series. In Amharic there is only the voiced series. In Korean the tenuis series becomes voiced when the consonants occur between vowels. There may be subtle differences in articulation of the ejective series, but there are also strong similarities. I do not know of any examples of languages where "faucalized" and "ejective" consonants are distinguished as phonemes. Howard McCay (talk) 17:25, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Faucalized and breathy voice
editIn the introduction to this article, it is stated that "Faucalized voice is not to be confused with breathy voice". Later, in the "Nilotic Languages" section, the following statement is found: "In the following tables, modal ("hard") vowels contrast with faucalized ("breathy").". The article contradicts itself, thus. Which is it? Desoja (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
