The articulatory features that distinguish different vowel sounds are conventionally described along a two-dimensional coordinate system that naturally represents the position of the highest point of ...

Other neanderthals would probably also like to hear that — but one researcher thinks that the average neanderthal would have a problem with that vowel. A reconstructed vocal tract indicates that there ...
