Operations in Latin 16 Medial Vowel Weakening & the Nasal Increment • Given the rules to this point, we expect that the words in Table X.17. will have the vowel e because the root vowel is followed by 2 consonants. • Instead each word has the vowel i. • The sequence in both of these is ng. • This sequence is equivalent to [ g].
LAX VOWELS are produced with a more relaxed speech muscle movement. The terms TENSE/LAX do not capture significant phonetic differences. TENSENESS/LAXNESS have to be interpreted as a complex of articulatory characteristics. 1. TONGUE ROOT POSITION: In the articulation of tense vowels the root moves more forward -- advanced tongue root (ATR). 2.
Latin phonology is the system of sounds used in various kinds of Latin. This article largely deals with what features can be deduced for Classical Latin as it was spoken by the educated from the late Roman Republic to the early Empire.

The science of phonetics aims to describe all the sounds of all the world’s languages. Acoustic phonetics: focuses on the physical properties of the sounds of language. Auditory phonetics: focuses on how listeners perceive the sounds of language. Articulatory phonetics: focuses on how the vocal tract produces the sounds of language.
