Strident vowels are fairly common in Khoisan Languages , where they contrast with simple pharyngealized vowels. There is no official symbol for stridency in the IPA, but in Khoisanist literature a subscript double tilde (≈) is sometimes used, as seen here on the letter : Stridency may be a type of Phonation called Harsh Voice . A similar phonation, but without the trill, is called ''pressed voice'' or ''ventricular voice''. The Bai Language of southern China has a Register system with Allophonic strident and pressed vowels. |
