A Type of Athabaskan Relative, And, the Phonetics of Haida (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Type of Athabaskan Relative, And, the Phonetics of Haida. The intermediates. By intermediates are meant unaspirated voiceless lenes, con sonants pronounced with the voicelessness of typical French surds (b, t, k) but with the les ser energy of our sonants (b. D, g) . To the ears of english-speaking persons they are more apt to sound like sonants than surds, while French men would be almost certain to set them down as typical unaspirated surds. The Haida intere mediates are identical with the corresponding series heard iniroquois, Athabaskan, Takelma.. About the Publisher.
